In the strange world of quantum mechanics, an atom can exist in a superposition of two or more trajectories until a measurement is made of its position or momentum. Physics World's podcast team discusses the enduring appeal of quantum mechanics. But while the ideas of quantum physics are challenging and notoriously weird, they seem to capture the public imagination and hold an enduring appeal. The strange world of quantum physics is well understood - well almost. Hicks has found that the "strange" world of quantum physics, when looked at from a spiritual perspective, may not actually be all that strange to Bible readers. Anyone who writes about the weird stuff that happens in this world has to, at some point, tackle two topics: Bigfoot, and the Bermuda Triangle. And this is the strange world of quantum mechanics. Dr David Wineland and Professor Serge Haroche have won the Nobel Prize in Physics for their exploration of quantum mechanics. The strange world of quantum mechanics can provide a way to surpass limits in speed, efficiency and accuracy of computing, communications and measurement, according to research by MIT scientist Seth Lloyd. Elementary particles and forces of nature apart from gravity, an electron's point mass sits amid a cloud of virtual particles which pop in and out of existence—the sort of thing possible in the weird world of quantum mechanics. Ordinarily, in the strange world of quantum mechanics, the act of. Engineers design our appliances using quantum physics every day. Evidence of this comes in part from the numerous popular-science books This episode in the Physics World books podcast series looks at the popularity of quantum mechanics in science writing. As scientist 'entangle' the motion of pairs of atoms for the first time, which they say may be used to power super fast computers of the future, we look at the strange world of quantum mechanics. The observer collapsed the wave function simply by observing. Styer Download The Strange World of Quantum Mechanics Styer (Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, U.K., 2000).
