Backup copy: Putting quantum weirdness to work: Quantum Information Science Quantum physics, information theory, and computer science are among the crowning intellectual achievements of the 20th century. Now, a new synthesis of these themes is underway. The emerg- ing field of quantum information science is providing important insights into fundamental Read more…
The Berkeley Center for Theoretical Physics presents a lecture by Nobel Laureate and Berkeley grad, David Gross, of UC Santa Barbara’s Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics. He will discuss "The Coming Revolutions in Fundamental Physics." The lecture is part of the Berkeley Center for Theoretical Physics Opening Symposium on October Read more…

No I am not talking about Obama. This is the story of Dewar and Kamerlingh Onnes race to liquify gases. The ultimate challenge was helium. Dewar gavce up after hydrogen as he found it difficult to get helium and had all along gone light on equipment whilst Onnes used Read more…

See the basic setup The math derived here. ————– distance = X nanoseconds light velocity ————– Imagine you and a friend agree to go to separate locations and flip a coin and record on a clip board what you get. Imagine afterward you get together and compare notes and see that the entire list Read more…
The base state of an electron in an infinite potential well has the most "space" for the electron state. Thus it has the maximum entropy. Take that same state and imagine pinching the electrons existence to nil in the middle of the trough. Now you have state-2. The electron now Read more…
