swimstereo Quantum Tech in Your Pocket
To store your photos, electrons in your pocket tunnel straight through a solid wall.
swimstereo Quantum computers use qubits instead of regular bits to solve complex calculations in seconds instead of millennia.
swimstereo Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) machines use quantum spin to look inside the human body without surgery.
swimstereo Match and bond subatomic particles to discover how the universe is built.
Silicon power: Without quantum mechanics, we could not design transistors, meaning modern smartphones and computers would not exist.
A semiconductor device used to amplify or switch electrical signals and power. In 1947, Bell Labs engineers invented this component, which now operates by the billions inside modern smartphones.
What quantum-based medical machine uses the spin of hydrogen protons to map the inside of the human body?
Roughly how long does it take for a modern atomic clock to lose or gain a single second?
Why can quantum computers solve certain complex problems much faster than classical supercomputers?
What quantum device, found in grocery scanners, produces a highly concentrated beam of synchronized photons?
Which electronic component, designed using quantum mechanics, acts as a tiny switch in all modern computer chips?
Which global navigation system relies on the microsecond precision of atomic clocks to pinpoint your location?
Which element's atomic vibrations are most commonly used to define the precise length of a second in atomic clocks?
