Scott Aaronson, a well-known MIT computer scientist, has offered 100000$ to the person that convinces him (and in the same time the entire physics community) that scaleable quantum computing is impossible in the physical world. Although several principles of quantum computation like the implementation of Shor's algorithm have already been prooven multiple qubit operations and... |

This post will be my attempt to explain intuitively what is Quantum Field Theory. This idea came to me after reading two books: "QED: The Strange Theory of Light and Matter" by Richard Feynman, and "Quantum Field Theory in a Nutshell", by A. Zee (that I only started). Both books use path integrals, but in a very different way: Feynman tells us that the particles can move anywhere they want in space and time, while Zee uses conventional 'forward in time only' paths but of a 'mattress' and not just one par... |

The way that most physicists teach and talk about partial differential equations is horrible, and has surprisingly big costs for the typical understanding of the foundations of the field even among professionals. The chief victims are students of thermodynamics and analytical mechanics, and I've mentioned before that the preface of Sussman and Wisdom's Structure and Interpretation of Classical Mechanics is a good starting point for thinking about these issues. As a pointed example, in this blog post I'll... |
