    What are Effective Field Theories?

    The quantum world is governed by a large number of different energy or length scales, as clearly seen in the hydrogen atom, where an essentially point like electron is bound to a proton.

    Q&A with Chris Jay Hoofnagle & Simson L. Garfinkel, authors of ‘Law and Policy for the Quantum Age’

    Law and Policy for the Quantum Age (out now as Open Access) is for readers interested in the political and business strategies underlying quantum sensing, computing, and communication. This work explains how these quantum technologies work, future national defense and legal landscapes for nations interested in strategic advantage, and paths to profit for companies. See […]

    The Vision for the Global Quantum Internet

    The true power of classical computing was never fully realised until the emergence of the internet. The internet enables information to be a commodity whose market value drives technological advancement. Quantum computers operate according to entirely different principles in the way they process information, which in the future will enable forms of computation, which cannot be realised on conventional computers. This raises the immediate question “what if we start networking them together?”

    Conversations on Quantum Gravity

    ‘Conversations on quantum gravity’ is physicist Jay Armas’ new book on the ongoing search for a theory of everything. In the book, Armas talks to 37 researchers – including five Nobel laureates and two Fields medalists - who share the current debates, the impact of their own discoveries and those of others, and their motivations to pursue the biggest questions about the world around us.

    Synchronized ion plasmon waves is a new view on neuron signaling

    Though the book “Quantum Nano-Plasmonics” concerns a random-phase approximation model of plasmons in metallic nanoparticles, it finds unexpected application to soft plasmonics in bio matter. A wave type plasmon-polariton mechanism of the so-called saltatory conduction in myelinated axons is proposed.

    Fine-Tuning in the Physical Universe

    We only have one universe. On the face of it, the existence of life, complexity, and structure in our universe seems to be lucky or to call out for explanation. When we look more closely, the physical causes of these important phenomena appear to be balanced on a knife-edge. Fine-Tuning in the Physical Universe formulates these questions and explores the answers in the context of many sub-disciplines of physics.
