Nov 4 Human Connection and Quantum Entanglement: A Detailed Exploration

The search for understanding human connection has spanned centuries, crossing disciplines such as psychology, sociology, and even biology. Recently, theoretical work and speculative research have explored whether concepts from quantum physics—specifically quantum entanglement—can offer insights into human relationships.

Quantum entanglement is a phenomenon where particles become interconnected, such that the state of one particle affects the state of another, regardless of the distance between them. Some researchers and thought leaders have suggested that this phenomenon may, metaphorically or even literally, explain elements of human connection, such as empathy, intuition, and synchronous experiences.

While applying quantum mechanics to human consciousness and relationships remains speculative, exploring this intersection invites fascinating dialogue and potential future research.

This article looks deeply at the parallels, challenges, and possibilities of linking quantum entanglement with human connection, examining existing theories and expert opinions.

Oct 22 Quantum Finance: How Quantum Computers Will Change The World of Quantitative Finance

Ishan Gupta

Business Current Events

Quantitative Analysts, or “quants”, use complex algorithms and mathematical models to analyze data and predict outcomes, critical skills in the world of stock trading. Before the 1970s and 80s, successful traders sat down with CEOs and economists to gain exclusive information that, when combined with their intuition, allowed them to hedge educated bets on stocks. As market news became digitized, people with a background in math began to realize that stock markets displayed patterns, and complex models could be used to predict whether a stock was going up or down. They started using computers to analyze vast amounts of data, putting information through algorithms designed by mathematicians and computer scientists that returned instructions on buying or selling a particular stock. As computer technology advanced, algorithms became more complex, and the field of quantitative finance grew. Today, almost every trader, from day traders to massive hedge funds, uses research done by quants to help them decide which stocks to buy and sell.

Oct 15 Quantum Computing: The New Paradigm

Science & Nature

A quantum computer is a computing device that uses quantum bits (qubits), which can exist in multiple states simultaneously due to superposition and be correlated through entanglement, enabling it to solve certain complex problems much faster than classical computers.

The journey to quantum computing began with the early developments in quantum mechanics. Max Planck's pioneering work revealed the concept of discreteness at sub-atomic levels. J.J. Thomson's discovery of electrons in the cathode ray tube, followed by Rutherford's description of electrons orbiting the nucleus, laid crucial foundations. An unexpected source of insight came from a bad cigar, which played a role in uncovering the concept of spin as intrinsic angular momentum in electrons (Friedrich & Herschbach, 2003).
