WHY APRIL
14?
The World Quantum Day is celebrated on April
14, a reference to 4.14, the rounded first digits
of Planck’s constant: 4.1356677×10−15 eV⋅s =
0.000 000 000 000 004 1356677 electron volt
second, a product of energy and time that is
the fundamental constant governing quantum
physics.
Goals
World Quantum Day is an annual event to raise
public awareness about quantum science and
technology. It explores how it impacts our
understanding of the universe, current technologies,
and future advancements. The day is celebrated
through various activities organized by scientists and
enthusiasts around the world.
What is
Quantum
Science?
Imagine everything around you is made of tiny building blocks, way smaller than even the
tiniest speck of dust. These are atoms, and they're the stars of quantum science!
Regular science explains how things like baseballs and bikes move. Quantum science explains
how these super-small atoms behave, and it's a bit weird. Here's the basic weirdness:
Tiny Tricksters: These tiny atoms can be in multiple places at once, like a coin that's both
heads and tails until you look at it. This strangeness is called superposition.
Probabilities Rule: We can't know for sure exactly where these tiny things are or what
they're doing. Quantum science deals in chances, like the chance of the coin landing on
heads.
Spooky Action: Sometimes, these tiny atoms can be connected, even if they're far apart.
Imagine flicking a coin here and instantly affecting another coin miles away – that's kind of
like entanglement, a mind-bending concept in quantum science.
Quantum science might seem strange, but it's super
important!
It has the potential to revolutionize many fields! Here's a
glimpse into its future applications:
Superfast computers: Quantum computers could solve
problems that would take regular computers billions of
years, leading to breakthroughs in medicine, materials
science, and artificial intelligence.
Unbreakable codes: Quantum mechanics can create
uncrackable codes for ultimate online security. Think of
a secret message only you and the recipient can
unlock, no matter how hard hackers try!
The
Quantum
Coin
Regular coins have two states: heads or tails, we know for
sure which state it's in after flipping - this is the classical
logic.
The quantum coin defies classical logic.
It can exist in both heads and tails states (superposition) at
the same time. This weirdness applies until someone
observes the coin.
