How to build a teleportation machine: Teleportation protocol
Damn, it sure takes a long time for light to travel to the Pegasus galaxy. If only quantum teleportation enabled FTL Stargates… I was hoping [...]
Quantum Matter Animated!
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pktWhH6m_DM?vq=hd720&rel=0&showinfo=0] by Jorge Cham What does it mean for something to be Quantum? I have to confess, I don't know. My Ph.D was in Robotics and Kinematics, so my neurons [...]
K-12 Programs
K-12 Programs IQIM interacts broadly with K-12 students and we also include teachers. Over 1,000 students participate in programs held on the Caltech campus including Project Scientist Academy, Southern California State [...]
Steampunk quantum
A dark-haired man leans over a marble balustrade. In the ballroom below, his assistants tinker with animatronic elephants that trumpet and with potions for improving black-and-white photographs. The man is [...]
Monopoles passing through Flatland!
Like many mathematically inclined teenagers, I was charmed when I first read the book Flatland by Edwin Abbott Abbott.* It’s a story about a Sphere who visits a two-dimensional world [...]
The X Windows Solution
A Sun 3/60 Workstation in the late 1980s. I recently did an interview for an educational video about quantum physics. The filmmaker, who needed some [...]
