A century ago, science became both. To celebrate, physics is throwing a party for a year worldwide.
In 1925, quantum mechanics, a scientific theory that explains intuitive physics rules in a very small scale, began to be determined in the minds of physics. Since that year, a series of monumental papers have presented the framework of theory. Quantum Physics has penetrated in a wide range of science that describes the backcase table, star life and death, and enables technology from laser to smartphone.
In honor of the progress of the century, physics people will be 2025 International year of quantum science and technologyAs designated by the United Nations. The festival starts with the opening ceremony in Paris on February 4 and continues all year round, including science councils and public lectures. quantumIn March, he gave birth to events, activities and demonstrations held at the Global Physics Summit in the American Physics Society in Anaheim, California.
Since 1900, various experiments and theoretical developments have begun to disclose the mysterious quantum areas. Then, the 1925 paper by German physicist Werner Heisenberg, shortly afterwards, changed the Hant’s Hoji Forge into a cohesive painting.
Ana María Cetto, the theoretical physicist of the Mexican National Institute of Physics in Mexico in Mexico City, said, “We are still using the equations published in 1925 and 26. “And they have led to a huge amount of theoretical results, experimental results and technical applications.” The subsequent quantum revolution has become many foundations of modern physics.
“The foundation of a completely different way of looking at nature has solidified,” said Smitha VishveShwara, a quantum physicist at Illinois University Urbana-Champaign.
According to a new view of nature, the material absorbs the energy of small, individual packets or quanta. Strangely, an object with a connection can be entangled, and its attributes are related to intangible links. The uncertain principle of Heisenberg, formulated in 1927, says it is impossible to accurately determine the speed and momentum of the object. The strange quantum rimbo, known as overlapping, became famous in 1935 with Schrödinger’s Cat. In the last century, such a strange thing was that not only science but also popular imagination.
Science news I talked with Cetto and VishveShwara who participated in this year’s celebration. Their response was edited for length and clarity.
SN: What is the importance of quantum physics today?
SetoFor 100 years, quantum physics has become one of the main areas, not the main areas of modern physics. It is difficult to find some areas of physics or some problems in physics where quantum epidemiology does not act. It is especially working in a small, small, short, short system. This is because the quantum phenomenon is actually the actual appearance.
SN: What is the technology application?
VishveShwara: Semiconductor technology, MRI, quantum calculations, lasers -all this comes from understanding quantum physics. To create a default circuit element that enters your smartphone, you need to understand the quantum -level atoms, elements and compounds.
SN: What is the goal of international quantum science and technology?
VishveShwara: One is to raise the public’s perception of the wonders of quantum science and the public’s perception of how it affects our daily lives. There are more than 60 countries, so it’s actually a celebration around the world. In addition to raising the public’s perception and gathering other communities, I think it is gathering people by crossing the road of life and other lives in a way that it has not seen in the lifetime.
SN: Quantum Physics is famous for mysterious.
VishveShwara: Absolutely mysterious. I think it’s part of the charm because we all like mystery. Already in popular culture, I have appeal. Now “quantum” is this Ultracool word you have [Marvel character] Ants entering the quantum area.
SN: What are some open questions left in quantum physics?
Seto: We still lack some basic elements to get the whole picture. What is the physical cause of entanglement? What is the physical cause of uncertainty expressed in Heisenberg? [uncertainty principle]? It’s not magic, so you don’t understand it. It is physics. We must do that.
