    workings of the things around me has led to my interest in electronics, physics and particularly applied physics. To be able to understand the physical phenomenon and then being able to apply it is a very fascinating process. I would like to see how the theory that I got acquainted with up until now can be put to use for some of the most important things around. This internship would give me an opportunity to explore nanotechnologies and understand its link with applied

    Introduction Quantum mechanics or also known as quantum physics is a field of science which studies the behaviour of particles at sub-atomic level. This theory tells us that short-lived pairs of particles and their antiparticles are constantly being created and destroyed in an apparently empty space. In quantum mechanics the weird behaviour of electrons are not accurately explained and until now not a single theory is acceptable by the whole scientific community to postulate the phenomena. The

    of modern physics, and now the principles of quantum physics are being applied to an increasing number of areas, which include, quantum optics, quantum chemistry, quantum computing, and quantum cryptography. Max's theories and discoveries have changed our understanding of the process of atomic and subatomic atoms, meaning he used the idea of quanta (discrete units of energy) to explain hot glowing matter. He has began the study into the field of quantum physics. Some say Max has refined our knowledge

    Quantum Cumputers By the strange laws of quantum mechanics, Folger, a senior editor at Discover, notes, an electron, proton, or other subatomic particle is "in more than one place at a time," because individual particles behave like waves, these different places are different states that an atom can exist in simultaneously. Ten years ago, Folger writes, David Deutsch, a physicist at Oxford University, argued that it may be possible to build an extremely powerful computer based on this peculiar

    Quantum physics is mind-bending, counterintuitive, and close to impossible to understand. It's so complicated that a theory saying our reality is just one of an infinite web of infinite timelines is one that's actually simpler than what most quantum physicists believe. That neat-and-tidy explanation is known as the many-worlds interpretation, and it has caused plenty of controversy in physics circles. In the 1950s, a student at Princeton University named Hugh Everett III was studying quantum mechanics

    physicist working on quantum mechanical aspects of condensed matter and solid state physics. My past research highlights coherence, entanglement, and topology in condensed matter systems. These features are unique in quantum systems, and can give rise to phenomena that do not have classical counterparts. Target systems of my interest include mesoscopic/nanoscopic systems such as graphene, spintronics, topological insulators, and strongly correlated electron systems such as quantum magnetism, unconventional

    Quantum Entanglement Quantum entanglement, also known as “spooky action at a distance” as first referred to by Einstein, is a phenomenon which occurs when two or more particles interact in such a way that their physical states can be described as one whole system rather than as each particle separately. The particles spin in opposite directions to each other and, no matter how far away each particle is from the other, if one particle changes its spin the other particle/s will instantaneously change

    Quantum Mechanics The Quantum Mechanics are weird, yet incredibly powerful theory of the subatomic world, in which everyday concepts to do with the forces and motion are seen in a different perspective, as they do not longer apply in the same way. This calls for a new type of mechanics based on what scientists call "quantum" rules. Quantum mechanics are a very complicated matter that scientists don't fully understand yet; they are in charge of studying the smallest faces of our world. The idea

    The study of quantum mechanics has been ongoing for hundreds of years. The book, Entanglement by Amir D. Aczel allows the reader to see the evolution of the study of quantum mechanics over those hundreds of years from a fresh perspective. He offers an inside look at the scientists who have contributed so much to the field throughout the years. In his book, Aczel humanizes the people who we previously looked at just as names behind different theories, equations, and methods by exploring their backgrounds

    Quantum mechanics was developed over many decades ago,Quantum mechanics is science dealing with the behaviour of matter and light on the atomic and subatomic scale. It attempts to describe and account for the properties of molecules and atoms and their constituents—electrons, protons, neutrons, and other more particles. This type of physics beginning as a set of controversial mathematical explanations of experiments that the math of classical mechanics could not explain. It began at the turn of the
