The Strange World of Quantum Mechanics Daniel F. Styer
Publisher: Cambridge University Press

Next week, we'll look at where supercomputing will go next – on a straight line to faster and faster speeds, or into the strange world of quantum physics, and – theoretically – infinitely faster supercomputers. 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. Before the Wright Brothers flight in 1903, and before the discoveries of Planck, Einstein, Bohr, Schrodinger, etc. This first foray into the strange-but-maybe-true world of quantum mechanics wasn't expected by scientists until 20 years from now. Bermuda_Triangle Well, it was inevitable. In two places at once: Strange world of quantum mechanics shown to work in visible world for first time. UA physicists glimpse a demon whose existence would violate the laws of physics – but in the strange world of quantum mechanics, they discover that subatomic particles sometimes behave in seemingly demonic ways. A good doc with some of the basics, delves into the strange world of quantum physics/mechanics with some smattering of many worlds/parallel universe theory, only mentions string theory. 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. The greatest mystery of quantum mechanics is how its ideas have remained so weird, while it explained more and more features of the world around us. I've recently been immersing myself in the weird and wacky world of quantum mechanics and I think it's about due time I shared some of things that I've learnt. Under the combined action of two laser fields (control and signal), electrons in the rubidium atoms are transferred into a coherent superposition of two quantum states.
