The Enigma of Quantum Entanglement
The Enigma of Quantum Entanglement: _ _ Section-1 Prologue: Physicists and philosophers of physics have been debating the meaning of quantum mechanics in general, and quantum entanglement in particular, ever since quantum mechanics was first formulated, and are still debating it today, almost 100 years later. At the heart of quantum mechanics lies a concept that feels almost magical—quantum entanglement. Imagine two particles of the same type becoming so intertwined that a change in one instantly affects the other, no matter how far apart they are. This is the essence of quantum entanglement, a phenomenon that Albert Einstein famously described as “spooky action at a distance.” Quantum entanglement stands as one of the strangest and hardest concepts to understand in physics. Two or more particles can interact in a specific way that leave them entangled, such that a later measurement on one system identifies what the outcome of a […]
QUANTUM COMPUTING
Quantum Computing: _ Note: As a doctor myself, I am on duty treating patients during Coronavirus pandemic and national lockdown. Whatever spare time I have, I utilize it for providing education through my website. Can Quantum Computing help us to respond to the Coronavirus? Quantum computing can be applied to work toward vaccines and therapies as well as epidemiology, supply distribution, hospital logistics, and diagnostics. By harnessing the properties of quantum physics, quantum computers have the potential to sort through a vast number of possibilities nearly instantaneously and come up with a probable solution. How? Read the article. ____ ____ Prologue: Quantum theory is one of the most successful theories that have influenced the course of scientific progress during the twentieth century. It has presented a new line of scientific thought, predicted entirely inconceivable situations and influenced several domains of modern technologies. After more than 50 years from its inception, […]
