Quantum and Dance: It Takes 2 to Entangle
By Krister Shalm, an experimental quantum physicist at NIST
One lecture in an undergraduate quantum physics class changed my life forever.
It was 2001, and the professor introduced the idea that physicists could use quantum particles to build a new kind of superpowerful computer. I was so captivated by the idea that quantum physics could lead to fundamentally new approaches to technology that I spent the rest of the semester devouring every resource I could find on the topic. I became so engrossed I nearly failed the class! However, that fascination has grown into a lifelong passion for exploring the quantum world.
