  Science and Religion in Islam: The Link. — Authority: 114
  "Thermodynamics, the crown jewel of 19th-century physics, concerns systems with many particles. Quantum mechanics , developed in the 20th century, works best when applied to just a few. The UCLA team is using their tiny lamp to study physicist Max Plancks black-body radiation law, which was derived in 1900 using ...

• Scientists create the first programmable quantum processor

  
  Ars Technica — Authority: 744
  Scientists have developed a number of quantum computing systems that use ions or electrons as bits of data; mathematical "operations" can be performed on them with beams of light or electrical pulses. Until recently, however, these systems could only perform the specific tasks they were designed to do. But a group of ...

  Television Zombies: Blog and Podcast — Authority: 129
  Another web site! ABC loves ARGs.  Lost had a whole campaign based on the fictional story behind what happened to flight 815 and the Dharma Initiative.  Now FlashForward follows suit with several alternate reality sites, all of which lead back to the series portal on ABC.  We can now add www.alreadyghosts.com. ...

  Naught Thought — Authority: 110
  Levi has an interesting post about quantum mechanics and Speculative Realism. A whole slew of issues arises surrounding epistemological versus ontological realism particularly in regards to the issue of observation and the uncertainty principle. As the Dailykos post he references makes clear, decoherence does not ...

• Phenomenological Quantum Gravity

  
  Physics and Physicists — Authority: 497
  I dont normally find reading papers on quantum gravity to be "entertaining". However, this is actually is, simply because the authors have to be rather concise due to limited space. Written by Sabine Hossenfelder Lee Smolin of the Perimeter Institute, it actually provides quite an overview of the phenomenological ...

• First Universal Two-Qubit quantum processor created

  
  ZME Science — Authority: 522
  Physicists from NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) have demonstrated what they claim to be the first universal programmable quantum information processor that will be able to run any program allowed by quantum mechanics (the set of principles that describe the atomic and subatomic matter). They ...

  Physics and Physicists — Authority: 497
  It appears that theres a new independent movie titled "Triple Hit" that is making use of various popularization of quantum mechanics. The film - previously called Schrodingers Girl - centres on Rebecca Hunter, a disgraced scientist conducting research into alternate universes. She discovers a way to travel between ...

• Quantum mechanics and geometry

  
  Secret Blogging Seminar — Authority: 112
  Here’s a nice little story about quantum mechanics, which surprisingly few mathematicians seem to know about. The essential idea is “quantum mechanics on the projective space looks remarkably like classical mechanics”! Everything I say here comes from two papers Geometrical Formulation of Quantum Mechanics ( ...

  NeuroLogica Blog — Authority: 607
  Deepak Chopra has made a career out of misunderstanding quantum mechanics (QM) – and through his popularity, confusing the public. Like many others, he has found a superficial way in which to interpret quantum mechanics to make is seem as if it is congruent with Eastern metaphysics. And now he has done it again , ...

  Managing Leadership — Authority: 409
  The author of a popular book on modern developments in physics is a true believer in the validity of quantum mechanics. This remains a highly speculative theory, however. On the one hand, it is strongly supported by powerful evidence from mathematics. In fact, it is worth remembering that many researchers into the ...

• The quantum mystics paradox

  
  Skeptic's Play — Authority: 411
  As explained in a previous post, quantum mechanics allows for particles to be entangled . Basically, that means that the quantum state of two particles must be described together; they cannot be described separately. A concrete example: Two electrons, which well name A and B, are emitted from a source in opposite ...
