Practical Quantum Mechanics Siegfried Flügge

"Our understanding of quantum mechanics is rudimentary, at best, yet we are on the verge of developing practical quantum computers that promise virtually unlimited computational power. [FAPP is Bell's suggested abbreviation of “for all practical purposes”] Suppose for example that quantum mechanics were found to resist precise formulation. A property known as «entanglement» is a fundamental characteristic of quantum mechanics. Its results have broad implications for the foundations of quantum mechanics and for practical issues in quantum measurement. But I never thought quantum mechanics had any practical use in today's world. Experimentalists are chipping away at Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle. Physicists and And such practical applications might eventually help to gain a better understand of quantum mechanics. The work with 3 0r 4 photons like the other quantum devices being worked on, is a good effort, but pushing it up to 30 0r 100 phontons is going to be a very invoved practical task. Artificial atoms are a cornerstone of emerging technologies that promise to make practical use of the laws of quantum mechanics. They have built a relatively simple photonic . I also know enough about relativity to be able to get my head around why that is. With fully fledged quantum computers still potentially decades off, several groups of physicists around the world have found an alternative way of exploiting the processing power of quantum mechanics. In the future, quantum wheels could have practical applications, like correcting satellite orientation in space. The Quantum Activist logically walks through the implications of the Observer Effect in physics, and utilizes Quantum Physics to answer questions about the nature of Consciousness.
