The Fascinating, Weird World of Quantum Matter
WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 2 at 7 pm ET
In physics, the whole is different than the sum of its parts. When atoms are combined to form a solid, new physical phenomena arise which cannot be predicted based on the properties of the individual components. This is known as emergent behaviour.
The reduction of a problem to fundamental laws at a smaller scale does not mean that the same laws will apply at a larger scale. At each level of complexity, the underlying physics is as fundamental as at any other level. These many variables and states create added difficulty when solving the most complex problems we face today.
In her lecture webcast, Karen Hallberg, an expert in quantum condensed matter physics, will explore examples of emergent phenomena and demonstrate how we can tackle these problems using quantum information to filter the most relevant data. By advancing research in this field, we hope to seed advances with applications from medical equipment and new materials to efficient energy generation, transportation, and storage. Read more.
