Entropy

The practical objective of improving steam engines led to an impressive level of abstract thinking during the development of thermodynamics.

Quantum Amplitudes, Classical Ignorance & Quantum Information Processing

Quantum Amplitudes, Classical Ignorance & Quantum Information Processing

A major theme in current theoretical physics is understanding the implications of quantum mechanics for the dynamics of composite systems. When sub-systems interact, they naturally become correlated.

Galaxy Dynamics

Galaxy Dynamics

Who can fail to be impressed by the grand sweep of spiral arms across the face of a galaxy? Look deeper and galaxies also pose fascinating problems in non-equilibrium statistical mechanics.

Superfluids and Superconductors

Saturday, October 28, 2017 - 10:30

Superfluids and Superconductors

Superfluidity and superconductivity -- the flow of matter or electrical current without friction -- are the two most spectacular manifestations of quantum mechanics at a macroscopic scale, and the understanding of these phenomena is one of the great achievements of quantum theory applied
