Summary of 1st lecture classical physics explanation of black-body radiation failed (ultraviolet catastrophe) Planck’s ad-hoc assumption of “energy quanta” of energy Equantum = h, leads to a radiation spectrum which agrees with experiment. old generally accepted principle of ...
Quantum Computing: (Brief) Inspiration • Modern computing devices are based on classical mechanics (CM). • But CM is a special limit of quantum mechanics. –Conclusion: Quantum devices can only have greater computational power than classical ones. Quantum Computing: (Brief) ...

Bohr’s view, the main problem and my very modest answer • «The quantum theory is characterised by the acknowledgment (Erkenntnis) of a fundamental limitation in the classical physical ideas when applied to atomic phenomena. The situation thus created ...
A little history behind origins of quantum mechanics • Theories on the nature of light (ca 400 BC): - Plato (and also Euclid): light = “streamers” emitted by the eye - Pythagoreans: light = fine particle emanating from luminous ...
OUTLINE • Testing theories in physics – some generalities - Testing 10/11 dimensional string/M-theories as underlying theories of our world requires compactification to four space-time dimensions! • Compactifying M-theory on “G2 manifolds” to describe/ explain our vacuum – underlying ...
