Quantum leap - parallelism between quantum mechanics and politics
It is no coincidence that the sweeping changes in international politics today have occurred side by side with an equally radical "paradigm shift" in the physical sciences. On the contrary, there is a causal link between the two developments. The radical changes we have witnessed in foreign policy, including the...

The cost of forgetting. (quantum physics' answer to "Maxwell's demon")(Science and Technology)
Scientists have determined that a perfectly efficient engine is not possible even when considering the problem from the perspective of quantum mechanics. James Clark Maxwell posed the question in 1871 and it was answered using conventional physics in 1981."MAXWELL'S demon" is the name of a "thought experiment" that has...

Test Of Bell's Inequalities Using Trapped Ions - Brief Article
In experiments using trapped, laser-cooled ions, NIST researchers in Boulder have demonstrated a violation of Bell's inequalities. These mathematical inequalities provide a basis for experimental tests whose results can distinguish between quantum mechanics and local realistic theories. Many experiments have been performed that are consistent with quantum mechanics and inconsistent...
