An awe-inspiring journey from relativity to the Higgs field, showing how the universe creates everything from what seems like nothing at all.
The quantum double-slit experiment, in which objects are sent toward a wall with two slits and then recorded on a screen behind the wall, creates an interference pattern that builds up gradually, object by object. And yet, it’s crucial that the path of each object on its way to the screen remain unknown. If one […]

Now finally, we come to the heart of the matter of quantum interference, as seen from the perspective of in 1920’s quantum physics. (We’ll deal with quantum field theory later this year.) Last time I looked at some cases of two particle states in which the particles’ behavior is independent — uncorrelated. In the jargon, […]
