Because of quantum tunneling, I could disappear from this room and reappear in the next room, practically penetrating the wall.
You would have to wait a really long time before it happens, but believe me, quantum tunneling is a real phenomenon, and it has been observed in many systems.
For instance, the tunnel diode, a component used in electronics, works thanks to the wonders of quantum tunneling.
If the ultra-dense Higgs state existed, then, because of quantum tunneling, a bubble of this state could suddenly appear in a certain place of the universe at a certain time, and it is analogous to what happens when you boil water.
In the same way, a bubble of the ultra-dense Higgs state could come into existence because of quantum tunneling.
So, I wonder, is it possible that in the future, the Higgs field will undergo a phase transition and, through quantum tunneling, will be transformed into this nasty, ultra-dense state?
Our calculation shows that quantum tunneling of the Higgs field is not likely to occur in the next 10 to the 100 years, and this is a very long time.
The entire universe was compressed into a little quantum dot, and it was so tight in there, there was no room for any difference at all.
That's wrong because the theory is quantum mechanical.
And I won't go into a lot of stuff about quantum mechanics and what it's like, and so on.
And those small, little, inhomogeneities, 20 parts in a million, those were formed by quantum mechanical wiggles in that early universe that were stretched across the size of the entire cosmos.
Laser cooling can slow atoms to just a few centimeters per second— enough for the motion caused by atomic quantum effects to become obvious.
There’s been research into ternary computers, with circuits in three possible states, and even quantum computers, whose circuits can be in multiple states simultaneously.
They postulate fundamental laws governing them, like the laws of gravity or of quantum mechanics.
Like the planet found by Herschel or dark energy or quantum mechanics or general relativity, all ideas that came because the data didn't quite match what we expected.
John Archibald Wheeler, one of the great physicists of the 20th century, the teacher of Richard Feynman, the coiner of the term "black hole," he said, "I want to know how come the quantum, how come the universe, how come existence?"
So maybe physics can fill this blank, and indeed, since about the late 1960s or around 1970, physicists have purported to give a purely scientific explanation of how a universe like ours could have popped into existence out of sheer nothingness, a quantum fluctuation out of the void.
The laws of quantum field theory, the state-of-the-art physics, can show how out of sheer nothingness, no space, no time, no matter, nothing, a little nugget of false vacuum can fluctuate into existence, and then, by the miracle of inflation, blow up into this huge and variegated cosmos we see around us.
The laws of quantum field theory for him are like fiat lux, "Let there be light."
Why quantum field theory that describes a universe with a certain number of forces and particles and so forth?
We just see a little tiny part of reality that's described by the laws of quantum field theory, but there are many, many other worlds, parts of reality that are described by vastly different theories that are different from ours in ways we can't imagine, that are inconceivably exotic.
We have to do this if we're going to learn how to walk or talk or ride a bike or even quantum mechanics.
We don't expect monkeys to solve problems in quantum mechanics, and as it happens, we can't expect our species to solve this problem either.
In other words: Are there processes, mechanisms, phenomena in living organisms that can only be explained with a helping hand from quantum mechanics?
Now, quantum biology isn't new; it's been around since the early 1930s.
I come from quantum physics, so I'm a nuclear physicist.
I've spent more than three decades trying to get my head around quantum mechanics.
One of the founders of quantum mechanics, Niels Bohr, said, If you're not astonished by it, then you haven't understood it.
This is the domain of quantum mechanics, and physicists and chemists have had a long time to try and get used to it.
It doesn't really require much in the way of quantum mechanics to explain it.
