It's Just Technology
The video shows a quantum simulation made by solving the Schrödinger equation for a particle scattering in three different lattices.
It can be seen that despite the complex behavior within the periodic lattice, the diffracted wavefunction at the output is well resolved, a well-known fact in electron crystallography.
This made QMsolve, an open-source python open-source package for visualizing and solving the Schrödinger equation.

AI Explains Quantum Computer Fundamentals And Its Insights Are Mind-Blowing. Quantum computers represent one of science’s great mysteries – an unfathomable technology leveraging the strange properties of subatomic particles like superposition and entanglement to process information in ways that massively outperform all computers as we know them today.
But grasping the perplexing fundamentals underpinning quantum computing remains a challenge even for experts working in this esoteric field. So in this video, I decided to ask an advanced artificial intelligence system to explain the core principles of quantum computing in simple terms accessible to total beginners. You might be shocked by just how much intuitive insight AI can now provide into topics once thought completely impenetrable without years of study. Let’s find out together!
We’ll begin by having the AI describe quantum computing at its most basic conceptual level – what makes it so radically different from classical computers, and how does it achieve such incredible processing power?
The AI provides startling clarity on quantum properties like superposition and parallelism. Next, we’ll explore specific quantum phenomena like entanglement that seem almost mystical until explained properly. Our AI assistant provides fascinating examples and analogies that finally demystify what Einstein called “spooky action at a distance” for me. We’ll unpack some famous quantum algorithms like Shor’s algorithm for lightning-fast factorization. And we’ll overview the vast array of fields and problems, from medicine to cybersecurity, that scalable quantum computers could one day revolutionize through previously unfathomable computational capabilities.
The AI also summarizes the current progress quantum computing has already made, despite still being in its infancy. We examine predictions on development timelines from leading experts. And fascinatingly, we have the AI describe its own vision for the world quantum computers could enable by around 2050 if we overcome key challenges ahead. While a long way from maturity, quantum computing clearly represents one of the most transformational technologies humanity is now racing towards.
By conversing productively on even hypothetical futures, we expand our sense of possibility. Perhaps by collaborating with emerging intelligences like AI, we can envision wiser paths ahead. But we must push them to expand empathy alongside raw knowledge, guiding AI to grow as a clarifying force for opportunity, not just computational capability.

British physicist Brian Cox is challenged by the presenter of Radio 4’s ‘Life Scientific’, Jim Al-Khalili, to explain the rules of quantum mechanics in just a minute. Brian succeeds; while conceding that the idea that everything is inherently probabilistic, is challenging.
This video discusses the strange property of light called “wave-particle duality.” Wave-particle duality is the idea that light can behave as both a wave and a particle, depending on how it is measured. Scientists are still not sure how wave-particle duality works, and it is one of the many mysteries of light that have yet to be solved.
The video also discusses some of the potential applications of wave-particle duality, such as in the development of new quantum technologies. Wave-particle duality is a fascinating phenomenon that has the potential to revolutionize many different fields of science and technology.
The double-slit experiment has baffled scientists for 200 years.
You’d think the computers of today are so fast and efficient that they can’t possibly get any better. Well, imagine a computing power so vast it can crack encryption codes in the blink of an eye, and simulate complex chemical reactions with unbelievable accuracy. They’ll start a real revolution in fields like medicine, finance, and artificial intelligence! This is the world of quantum computing — a world where the laws of physics and the limits of technology are pushed to their farthest boundaries.
Alain Aspect, John Clauser and Anton Zeilinger conducted groundbreaking experiments using entangled quantum states, where two particles behave like a single unit even when they are separated. Their results have cleared the way for new technology based on quantum information.
This video covers physicists (and their intelligence), quantum physics, the double slit experiment, superposition, quantum entanglement and the essence of the world as a virtual reality.
