Quantum
mechanics, the underlying microscopic theory of our existence governing
the behavior of the physical world, is the crowning success of human
intellect. It is astonishingly successful-- no experiment contradicts
the predictions of the theory, and the theory has been explicitly
verified to be correct to a precision better than 1 part in a trillion.
In the past 60 years, developments of quantum theory have led to the
modern technology that has revolutionized the world through applications
such as transistors, lasers, integrated circuits, and magnetic discs.
Despite this great success we really do not understand the quantum
theory in an intuitive manner because quantum laws are so radically
different from the classical laws of physics. The dichotomy that the
modern world is quantum, but the precise meaning of the quantum remains
elusive, disturbed the stalwarts of physics such as Einstein,
Schrodinger, and Feynman, and continues to baffle physicists even today.
This lecture will explore this curious state of affairs, highlighting
the numerous quantum based ideas and applications which underpin our
modern world and the sublime strangeness of the theory which completely
eludes our intuition. Connection will be made to some of the most
exciting recent developments such as quantum computation which is
bridging the gap between the 'weird' microscopic laws of the quantum
world and some real life problems in our everyday world such as code
breaking and database search.
