When it comes to thinking about quantum mechanics, there are levels. One level is shut-up-and-calculate: find a wave function, square it to get a probability. One level is foundational: dig deeply into the underlying ontology. But there’s a level in between, long neglected but recently coming to life. In this level you think about - or do experiments with - entangled quantum systems in the real world, putting entanglement to use. Monika Schleier-Smith is an experimental physicist specializing in cold atoms, which can be both entangled and manipulated. We discuss how to use such systems to study everything from metrology to quantum gravity.
Monika Schleier-Smith received her Ph.D. in physics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. She is currently an Associate Professor of Physics at Stanford University. Among her awards are a MacArthur Fellowship, a Sloan Fellowship, and the I. I. Rabi Prize in Atomic, Molecular, and Optical Physics from the American Physical Society.

Very interesting conversation regarding experimental setups, even for someone who worked with lasers and flux qbit quantum computers. Would have been nice to have some pictures of the lab setup. More technical details would be also interesting, such as importance of laser beam width / phase noise.
Best one in a while!
Thankyou for these 'pod-tubes'... this one was particularly engaging. Once again you've covered some good topics with a great guest😃
No words. Tremendous attempt 👏
Some of the coolest science out there, literally and figuratively.
great chat. you sound like you are having a great time.
great guest.
@GRUMMLER great of you to say.
particle counter tool can be useful accurate measured.
Is it possible to send back-in-time signalling in the way of binary or using sub atomic particles encrypted with receptor - receiver antenna using quantum entanglement from our present time to 1993 ? Using a radio conduit or rudimentary system that was used then . Specifically at a certain appliance and designation so accurate that the person from that time zone can see abstraction changes and hear certain intonations enough to steer them away from danger . Using our present day satellites as an agitator - oscillation device sending back artificial intelligence and analytics like a huge particle accelerator program.
No, that’s just Gregory Benford’s 1980 science fiction novel “Timescape”.
Causality violations are forbidden in the real world, you know that. Please don’t pollute serious science channels with science fiction fantasy bullshit.
@@ralphclark nothing excludes the possibility at all .
@@HooDie-Trench-GoTh2022 …except all of physics.
You can’t send any kind of signals to the past. There is nothing more fundamental.
7:55 Toin Coss lol
😶
Sir i am a 12 yrs physics passionate
Sir can you join my video regarding how quantum mechanics give birth to multiverse !
Sir pls
She said "um" literally HUNDREDS of times in this episode, which I found incredibly distracting.
That’s her pausing to choose her words carefully. Less cerebral speakers can ramble on without pause by parroting empty cliches, non-words like “irregardless” illiterate malapropisms like “hone in on” and ungrammatical nonsense such as “how it looks like” 🤬. That’s way, way more distracting and irritating than the occasional vocalised pause.
Ummmm..........
Toin Coss?! What kind of Physicist says toin coss?! Nope, can't take her seriously.
Ok
