I'm into the law of attraction and quantum physics. Like cosmic ordering. It's all about thinking lovely things that you would like in life, and feeling good about them before they manifest, so that by the time they do, you don't want them because you're on to your next desire.

The most important single thing about string theory is that it's a highly mathematical theory, and the mathematics holds together in a very tight and consistent way. It contains in its basic structure both quantum mechanics and the theory of gravity. That's big news.

American Physicist

Ashoke Sen

In many ways, string theory attempts to go beyond Einstein's dream... an all-encompassing description of nature that works at large distances where gravity becomes important as well as small distances where quantum mechanics is important.

Indian Physicist

Francis Collins

I finished up my graduate degree in quantum mechanics, but underwent a bit of a personal crisis, recognizing that I didn't want to do that for the rest of my life. It was too abstract, too far removed from human concerns.

American Scientist

Julie Andrews

I come from a long line of below-stairs maids and gardeners. Good ol' peasant stock. My mother and her sister made a quantum leap out of that life. Then I made another quantum leap.

Own your joy so that you can be happier and bring more energy to the world. That ripple effect works on a quantum level. It brings about changes in the world.

American Author

Joan Jett

Life is strong and fragile. It's a paradox... It's both things, like quantum physics: It's a particle and a wave at the same time. It all exists all together.

American Musician

Stuart Rose

There is a responsibility on all companies to look at the quantum of pay and the relationship between the top and the bottom.

British Businessman

Antony Garrett Lisi

The mathematics of quantum mechanics very accurately describes how our universe works.

Stephen Hawking

We are the product of quantum fluctuations in the very early universe.

English Physicist

In physics, 'quantum' suggests something extremely small yet fundamentally crucial.

Small but Mighty

'Quantum' refers to fixed, distinct levels or amounts in scientific contexts, not continuous.

Discrete Units

Used mainly in technical or scientific fields, not regular conversation.

Technical Term

Metaphorically, a 'quantum leap' means a huge and often sudden advancement or change.

Massive Change

In common usage, 'quantum leap' is figurative and doesn’t literally involve physics.

Not Literal

The adjective 'quantum' ties to theories where classic laws of physics don't apply.

Quantum Theories

'Quantum' as an adjective can signal complex, non-intuitive scientific concepts.

Complex Concepts

'Quantum' can describe a part allotted from a larger whole or resource.

Measure of Share

When talking about a 'quantum', it implies a measurable or specific portion.

Finite Quantity

In medicine, 'quantum' is precise, referring to a particular amount of energy change.

Energy Specific

It's an exact unit in processes like absorption or emission in medical physics.

Unit of Change

 Repeatedly writing to floating gate transistors corrodes them, eventually rendering them useless. With data on most current storage media having less than a ten-year life expectancy, scientists are working to exploit the physical properties of materials down to the quantum level

How computer memory...

 is literally infinite, and that it contains an infinite number of so-called pocket universes with varying properties. How's your brain doing? But quantum theory adds a whole new wrinkle. I mean, the theory's been proven true beyond all doubt, but interpreting it is baffling.

How many universes are...

 most importantly, its wavelength, which is the distance between two neighboring peaks, or two neighboring valleys. But we can't assign it a single position. It has a good probability of being in lots of different places. Wavelength is essential for quantum physics

What is the Heisenberg...

 Perhaps he has an opinion on the matter. Ha ha. Very amusing. Albert, the uncertainty principle works. It functions, and it allows us to make use of the quantum world. The goal of scientific pursuit should not be merely to make use of the world around us.

The Uncertainty...

 It's no longer a solid, a liquid or a gas. It enters a new state of matter called a superfluid. The atoms lose their individual identity, and the rules from the quantum world take over, and that's what gives superfluids such spooky properties.

John Bohannon: Dance vs....

 The everyday world you know and love behaves according to the laws of classical mechanics. But systems on the scale of atoms behave according to the laws of quantum mechanics. This quantum world turns out to be a very strange place.

What can Schrödinger's...

 because there's still so much we don't understand about the universe. Perhaps we'll find new exotic forms of matter that'll force us to revisit the laws of thermodynamics. Or maybe there's perpetual motion on tiny quantum scales.

Why don't perpetual...

 size of problem increases the time taken on a supercomputer increases exponentially and it rapidly hits the age of the universe the prediction is that for a quantum computer the scaling is very different and it maintains its

 whether the two particles are a mile or a light year apart. Somehow, information about the first electron's quantum state, called a qubit of data, influences its partner without transmission across the intervening space.
