Quantum Physics: Is Breakthrough Near?

Erwin Schrödinger will be happy to see the principles of quantum physics which he discovered decades ago are verified accurately. The principles which he talked about were related to a phenomenon called as Decoherence. It means a body which you can see can exist in number of states simultaneously. The aspect is perhaps most widely debated topic and is awaiting a breakthrough soon.

The topic of today’s article is a thought which might arise if you were happen to read what Dr. Christoph Simon, who teaches in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Calgary had to say. According to him, it is possible to have a greater insight in the phenomenon exhibited by a body under quantum physics if you can count the number of photons in the process. The very conclusion is a bit positive way in which the scientific community is trying to proceed. A detailed explanation of what Dr. Simon has to say can be found in the article published in Journal Physical Review Letters. The subject of the research was the difficulty in determining the interactions and processes in a quantum system because of coarse graining. The paper is titled Coarse graining makes it hard to see micro-macro entanglement.
The fields related to quantum science are moving forward and many researchers are contributing their bit in making some magnificent breakthrough in this field a reality. Even if you are not related to the core works of quantum physics in reality, the efforts do count. Recently Harvard Scientists and researchers from Broad Institute have made a tool kit to organize Data Sets in a manner which would interest the scientists working these projects. Just think about it that when in real world a system is operating, it consists of millions of tiny photons. Moreover the system being fragile it is difficult for the scientists to observe it thoroughly. It only makes sense that a system such as MINE developed by Harvard university is utilized in determining the association and other characteristics in between two or more photons.
There are techniques which might prove beneficial in quantum physics and quantum computing but many of them still lack base. Even if we are talking about computing, based on the quantum phenomenon, some research groups are trying to reduce the size of microchips while others have developed ways to control the photons. MINE has been tested in social and microbial context; also it has given superior results for economic problems. But will the tool kit be effective if used for photonic interaction? Either time or scientists will tell that.
