What does it mean to interpret quantum physics?
The United Nations has designated 2025 the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology. Many physics magazines and journals have taken the opportunity to publish more articles on quantum phys…

Quantum clock breaks entropy barrier
In physics, the second law of thermodynamics says that a closed system tends to become more disordered over time. This disorder is captured in an entity called entropy. Many devices, especially clocks…
Notes on covering QM
1. I learnt last year that quantum systems are essentially linear because the mathematics that physicists have found can describe quantum-mechanical phenomena contain only linear terms. Effects add t…
Why scientists should read more
The amount of communicative effort to describe the fact of a ball being thrown is vanishingly low. It's as simple as saying, "X threw the ball." It takes a bit more effort to describe ho…
A universe out of sight
We've been able to find that the universe is expanding faster than we thought. The LHC has produced the most data on one day. Good news, right?…
Thinking quantum
In quantum physics, every metric is conceived as a vector. But that's where its relation with classical physics ends, makes teaching a pain. Teaching classical mechanics is easy because we engage…
