THE ODDS GAME. “Quantum tunneling is a well known effect in quantum mechanics. For example, a quantum particle in a local potential minimum has a nonzero probability to tunnel through a potential maximum to reach another potential minimum with lower energy.” https://lnkd.in/eUwbdDwb View in LinkedIn

VACUUM HEAT TRANSFER. “In a vacuum, heat has long been thought to be transferred by radiation but not by phonons because of the lack of a medium.” https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-019-1800-4 View in LinkedIn

GATEKEEPER. “Quantum fluctuations of physical observables, which commonly arise from quantum nature of the system, play a crucial role because they give out information about phase transitions, and large scale structure formation as well as phenomena which are dissipative in nature.” https://lnkd.in/eMV6hEup View in LinkedIn

“HEAT TRANSFER IN SOLIDS is typically conducted through either electrons or atomic vibrations known as phonons.” https://lnkd.in/eTH9gPjU View in LinkedIn

MONSTER PROBLEM. “Depending on the Planck energy cutoff and other factors, the discrepancy is as high as 120 orders of magnitude, a state of affairs described by physicists as "the largest discrepancy between theory and experiment in all of science"and "the worst theoretical prediction in the history of physics". https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmological_constant_problem#:~:text=In%20cosmology%2C%20the%20cosmological%20constant,suggested%20by%20quantum%20field%20theory View in LinkedIn

EVOLUTION OF THE COSMOS. “It is widely believed that quantum fluctuations in matter and fields play a significant role in the cosmological evolution by defining the temporal behavior of the universe scale factor a(t) resulting from the Friedmann equations.” https://lnkd.in/e2CeCPzE View in LinkedIn

UNIMAGINABLE NEW PHYSICS. “Quantum criticality accumulates entropy, turns quantum matter soft, and makes it prone to the development of exotic excitations and new emergent phases. Quantum phases are enriched by the interplay between strong correlations, geometrical frustration, entwined degrees of freedom and hybrid interactions.” https://lnkd.in/eEErEUQW View in LinkedIn
