Quantum mechanics news, blogs, and links. According to Wikipedia: Quantum mechanics is a fundamental branch of theoretical physics that replaces classical mechanics and classical electromagnetism at the atomic and subatomic levels. It is the underlying mathematical framework of many fields of physics and chemistry, including condensed matter physics, atomic physics, molecular physics, computational chemistry, quantum chemistry, particle physics, and nuclear physics. Along with general relativity, quantum mechanics is one of the pillars of modern physics.
"Any who says he understands quantum mechanics," Niels Bohr once said, "doesn't know the first thing about it." Bohr, a Danish physicist who helped invent (discover?) quantum theory a century ago, presumably excluded himself from this dictum.
Quantum mechanics, which describes the behavior of electrons, neutrons, protons, photons and other tiny things, is arguably the most potent and precise of all scientific theories.

Physicists have demonstrated the first "universal" programmable quantum information processor able to run any program allowed by quantum mechanics -- the rules governing the submicroscopic world -- using two quantum bits (qubits) of information. The processor could be a module in a future quantum computer, which theoretically could solve some important problems that are intractable today.

It's all in the spin: Researchers find the holy grail of spintronics, which will enable the whole semiconductor industry to transfer to a new paradigm. Look for spintronics device to begin appearing in commercial products within seven years. R.C.J.Smarter electronic circuitry will, in the future, store information on the spin of an electron—up or down—rather than on the number of electrons stored, thereby saving energy, generating less heat...

Physicists have created a quantum gas microscope that can be used to observe single atoms at temperatures so low the particles follow the rules of quantum mechanics, behaving in bizarre ways. The work represents the first time scientists have detected single atoms in a crystalline structure made solely of light, called a Bose Hubbard optical lattice.

- Quantum gas microscope offers glimpse of quirky ultracold atoms (eurekalert.org)
Physicists at Harvard University have created a quantum gas microscope that can be used to observe single atoms at temperatures so low the particles follow the rules of quantum mechanics, behaving in bizarre ways. The work, published this week in the journal Nature, represents the first time scientists have detected single atoms in a crystalline structure made solely of light.
