Quantum Mechanics

Quotes
This link between theoretical and experimental physicists who work closely together, and in Innsbruck under one roof, is possible in very few places. It is also one of the great strengths of quantum physics research carried out in Innsbruck. And this research, once again, led us into an area of physics that hadn’t been explored before
It was a starting point for quantum mechanics which finds use in concepts such as semi-conductors and super-conductivity
I want to study quantum physics, too, but there just isn't enough time.More quotes »

Columbia prof strips, shows 9/11 tape during class
"What is happening?" as the performance went on.It ended with the professor returning to the stage."In order to learn quantum mechanics, you have to strip to your raw, erase all the garbage from your brain and start over again," Hughes said.The professor didn't Read more »

Competition in the Quantum World
"When water boils, its molecules are released as vapor. We call this change of the physical state of matter a phase transition," explains Sebastian Diehl from the Institute of Theoretical Physics at the University of Innsbruck. Together with his colleagu 12:32 AM from Nanotech Now Read more »

Bohr and the breakaway from classical mechanics
One hundred years ago on this day, Niels Bohr developed the Bohr model of the atom, where electrons go around a nucleus at the centre like planets in the Solar System. The model and its implications brought a lot of clarity to the field of physics at a t from The Hindu Read more »

C'mon Baby Light My (Magnetic) Fire
The very word “avalanche” calls to mind snowy avalanches and sand piles, but materials get their properties, like magnetism, from atomic structure, putting this is the realm of quantum mechanics. We’re really talking about a cascade of “spin flips” that from Scientific American Read more »

Labour Won’t Pledge to Repeal ‘Bedroom Tax’
Let’s ban the whole universe so as not to offend muslims. What about the universe of anti-matter, or the many universes of Everett’s model of quantum mechanics? Why haven’t you replied to my e-mail, you ugly, smug, anti-English tw*t? I’ll give you until from Guido Fawkes Read more »

Quantum computing: Faster, slower—or both at once?
CHIPMAKERS dislike quantum mechanics. Half a century of Moore’s law means their products have shrunk to the point where they are subject to the famous weirdness of the quantum world. That makes designing them difficult. Happily, those same quantum odditi from Economist Read more »
