Quantum Crystals, Quantum Computing, Quantum Cognition

Quantum Crystals, Quantum Computing, Quantum Cognition Fisher, Matthew Quantum mechanics is down to earth - quite literally - since the electrons within the tiny crystals found in a handful of dirt manifest a dizzying world of quantum motion. Each crystal has it’s own unique choreography, with the electrons entangled in a myriad of quantum dances. Quantum entanglement also holds the promise of futuristic Quantum Computers - which might be comprised of electron and nuclear spins inside diamond, or of atoms confined in traps, or of small superconducting grains, among a plethora of suggested platforms. In this talk I will describe ongoing efforts to elucidate the mysteries of Quantum Crystals, to design and assemble Quantum Computers, before ruminating about “Quantum Cognition” - the proposal that our brains are capable of quantum processing. Presented on October 5, 2015 at 3:00 p.m. in the Howey Physics Building, Lecture Hall 3.; Matthew Fisher is a Professor at the University of California Santa Barbara School of Physics.; Runtime: 68:09 minutes
