While few physicists will be surprised that all three loopholes have now been closed, doing so could be an important step towards developing failsafe quantum cryptography. The Physics Book : From the Big Bang to Quantum Resurrection, 250. It is also the basic variable of density Discussion includes the use of probabilities in statistical physics; the origins of quantum mechanics; the philosophical questions at the heart of quantum theory, like quantum entanglement; and methods for the experimental determination of electron density distributions. This development negated previous theories that the universe would at some point stop expanding and ultimately collapse into itself. The loophole-closure experiment has been carried out .. One of the fundamental concepts of quantum mechanics suggests that particles like photons have properties of both waves (like radio waves) and particles (like concrete objects). This article describes how physicists discovered the limitations of classical physics and developed the main concepts of the quantum theory that replaced them in the early decades of the 20th century. Be aware that they may not know their question is within the realm of physics. A typical request may be for material to help them understand topics in the news or concepts they have heard of, such as superstring theory, quantum mechanics, or the Big Bang Theory. In 1905, Einstein proved the existence of atoms and molecules, validated the concepts of quantum mechanics, and developed the theory of special relativity: E=mc2. To me, the alleged path interference or superposition in the double slit is a different conceptual problem to that of the collision (or not) of QM (and nature) with local-realism. Received 26 September 2010; Revised 27 November 2010; Accepted 22 December 2010. Quantum mechanics triumphs once again. The Statistical Origins of Quantum Mechanics. Electron density is one of the fundamental concepts underlying modern chemistry and one of the key determinants of molecular structure and stability. As a photon particle travels, its electric and magnetic fields vary, but are Artur Eckert, in a 1991 paper, used Bell's Theorem and quantum entanglement to develop a quantum channel over which a key can be securely shared. I'm thoroughly enjoying relearning the concepts of quantum mechanics in their proper place as part of a developing train of thought. Complementarity and the Copenhagen Interpretation of Quantum .
