Quantum Weirdness Gone Wild
Quantum physics is a branch of physics dealing with physical phenomena at microscopic scales. The theory provides a mathematical description of much of the dual particle-like and wave-like behavior and interactions of energy and matter.
Quantum physics is getting real - and getting really weird. If the strange properties of entanglement, teleportation and superposition can be harnessed, it could revolutionize computing, communication, banking and much, much more. That's a big 'if.' But several reports over the past few days suggest that folks are willing to spend millions of dollars to turn theory into reality.
