A TECHNOLOGICAL REVOLUTION IS UNDER WAY
Scientists are now harnessing the properties of quantum mechanics, the theory that describes the atomic world, to develop information technologies of unprecedented power and precision that promise to change the world. Canada is a world-leader in quantum information research.
Here's a primer on this technological quantum leap.

Winter Hall A Collaboration meeting held at Jefferson Lab on Friday, January 27, 2023. (Photo by Sadie Cherry | Jefferson Lab)
Winter Hall A Collaboration meeting session will cover presentations of the results of recent or near publications, updates on Physics analysis, theory seminars, and seminars oriented towards students' updates on the upcoming and future experiments.
Nice lazy day today, time for me to catch up on some reading......
"The world has split into two worlds with slightly different versions of you in them. Of course, as these different versions of you will then talk to other people, you need different versions of them also, so what you have is a splitting of the entire universe."
"But surely this would happen rather often", Alice could not help herself from saying.
"It always happens", replied the mermaid calmly. "Whenever you have a situation where a measurement could give different results, then all the possible results will be observed and the world will split into the appropriate number of versions".
"There would have to be as many universes as there are grains of sand on all the beaches on Earth", Alice protested.
"Oh, there would be far more than that. Far more!", replied the mermaid dismissively. "Far, far more......."

(Aileen Devlin | Jefferson Lab)
The Department of Energy’s National Science Bowl® is a nationwide academic competition that tests students’ knowledge in all areas of science and mathematics. Middle and high school student teams are comprised of four students, one alternate, and a teacher who serves as an advisor and coach. Teams face-off in a fast-paced question-and-answer format, being tested on a range of science disciplines including biology, chemistry, Earth science, physics, energy, and math.
