Quantum superposition
http://skepticsplay.blogspot.com/ 2008/ 10/ quantum-superposition.htmlThis post is meant to follow my explanation of "Why is Quantum discrete?" Mixed states As I explained before, Quantum Mechanics implies that bound particles have discrete energy levels. If a particle is on one of these energy levels, we would say it is in a pure quantum state (or "eigenstate").

Quantum cryptography in-band attack
http://hackaday.com/ 2008/ 10/ 06/ quantum-cryptography-in-band-attack/Quantum cryptography is an emerging field, but low install base hasn’t kept researchers from exploring attacks against it. It’s an attractive technology because an attacker sniffing the key exchange changes the quantum state of the photons involved. All eavesdroppers can be detected because of this fundamental principal of quantum mechanics.

Particle Zoo: The Higgs Boson For Sale
http://www.astroengine.com/ ?p=1430Astroengine exclusive interview with Particle Zoo founder, Julie Peasley The hunt for the Higgs particle may have come to grinding halt until 2009, but that doesn’t mean you can’t discover the elusive particle for yourself. In fact, it’s not just the Higgs boson that awaits discovery in the zoo of Standard Model particles.

The Best off the LPGA: JLPGA, September 2008 Edition
http://mlyhlss.blogspot.com/ 2008/ 09/ best-off-lpga-jlpga-september-2008.htmlWho are the best players on the JLPGA heading into their 3rd major of the season, the Japan Women's Open? This functionally illiterate expert will attempt to answer that question and update his July JLPGA ranking by combining the Rolex Rankings, the Golfweek/Sagarin Performance Index, the current

Damn the Probabilities
http://ideafestival.typepad.com/ my_weblog/ 2008/ 09/ folk-numeracy.htmlI'm going to link to an observation that I find interesting and then make a hard conceptual turn. Hang on. Why don't our minds intuitively grasp probabilities? Scientific American suggests one appealing reason for not noticing the bigger picture: thinking statistically would require us to have

LHC Start Up Successful
http://whitewraithe.wordpress.com/ 2008/ 09/ 10/ lhc-start-up-successful/Masters of the beam THE LARGE HADRON COLLIDER (LHC), known to its mates and crazies around the world as ‘the planet eater’, was powered up today in its entirety, bringing the boffins at CERN one step closer to proving or disproving the existence of the elusive Higgs Boson.
