Excited State
In atomic theory, an electron can be in one of several states. For this, I’m thinking about two… the ground state, and the excited state. When the electron is struck by a bit of light, it gets knocked out of it’s usual low-energy orbit, and goes as far from it’s center as it can…

Quantum Mechanics
From Derek Lowe’s excellent blog, we see this fascinating bit of the intersectionality of math, chemistry, and biology. Now what, you are asking yourself, does all this have to do with chemistry or biology? Well. . .if Grover-algorithmic processing is some sort of fundamental property of nature, then you might expect the genetic material to…

Quantum Soup
I’ve got to run to Physiology lecture – Not sure if we’re finishing capillaries or starting on digestion – but I saw this article and was interested. Then a sentence popped out and made me laugh. But in a material containing a spin liquid state, even if that material is cooled to absolute zero, the…
