The Nobel Prize’s Post

Exploring the boundaries of physics: Recent research revisits the concept of tachyons, proposing that these faster-than-light particles could exist within the framework of quantum theory. This study opens up new possibilities for understanding the universe's fundamental principles. Full details here: https://lnkd.in/dhV4Kqdh #TheoreticalPhysics

Dr. Simeon Mistakidis, assistant professor of physics, is one of the authors of an article in the prestigious journal nature physics that was published recently. The title of the paper is "Universality class of a spinor Bose–Einstein condensate far from equilibrium". Link in comments. The image shows a snapshot of the distribution of the population imbalance between different modes of an atomic spinor gas. The gas of atoms evolves in time after crossing a quantum phase transition boundary featuring universal characteristics.

Neutrons, when plucked from the nucleus of atoms, become unstable and decay after some time. Physicists know that these unstable neutrons die after about 14 minutes, but they cannot pinpoint the exact seconds in which the neutrons last, even as today’s experiments are at their most precise. Dr. Denny Lane Sombillo of the UP Diliman College of Science National Institute of Physics (UPD-CS NIP) thinks the explanation may lie in how time behaves at a quantum level.

Have you heard about the 'Pauli principle'? It was formulated by physics laureate Wolfgang Pauli who was born on this day in 1900. His principle proposed that no two electrons in an atom could have identical sets of quantum numbers. It was later discovered that protons and neutrons in nuclei could also be assigned quantum numbers and that Pauli's principle applied here too. Learn more: https://bit.ly/2J1kcyt

“Never confuse #education with #intelligence, you can have a PhD and still be an idiot". "Richard Phillips Feynman was an American theoretical physicist, known for his work in the path integral formulation of quantum mechanics, the theory of quantum electrodynamics, the physics of the superfluidity of supercooled liquid helium, as well as his work in particle physics for which he proposed the parton model. For his contributions to the development of quantum electrodynamics, Feynman received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1965 jointly with Julian Schwinger and Shin'ichirō Tomonaga".

Erwin Schrödinger is a great name we come across while studying Chemistry... especially Quantum chemistry. What he started with wave mechanics for microscopic particle and gave his famous wave equation... solving which still haunts chemists and theorists for complicated atomic and molecular systems. So many computational models still being developed to solve the equation with increasing accuracy and more perfect approximations... but still there are "approximations" only! The legacy of Schrödinger is indeed still evergreen and never-ending and yielding great minds throughout the world to work on it! Nothing wrong to say that future of chemistry is looking upon future of quantum!

DID YOU KNOW??? The 1929 Solvay Conference was a pivotal meeting of some of the greatest minds in physics, held in Brussels, Belgium. It was the seventh in the series of conferences organized by industrialist Ernest Solvay, focusing on the theme of "The Structure and Properties of the Atomic Nucleus." Notable attendees included Albert Einstein, Niels Bohr, and Marie Curie. The conference is remembered for the intense discussions between Einstein and Bohr on the nature of quantum mechanics, particularly the implications of the uncertainty principle. The debates at this conference significantly influenced the development of modern quantum theory. #COPIED

Presenting our groups first experimental paper at the DesOEQ conference in Strathclyde. We are aiming to build an experiment which will take a mixture of erbium and potassium to ~100 nK (10 million times colder than deep space). This will allow us to explore fundamental aspects of quantum physics and better understand our universe. University of Strathclyde University of Oxford University of Cambridge https://lnkd.in/eFcGCn6m
