Quantum Physics in 2017
The year 2017 was wild and unpredictable. And what science is better-suited for a weird year than quantum physics?

This year ushered in astonishing quantum discoveries from all corners — deep-buried neutrino labs in Antarctica, quantum-computing labs at major universities and even thunderstorms rumbling over Japan. From time crystals to the elusive tetraquark, here are 15 of the most amazing quantum discoveries of the past 12 months.

Tetraquarks sound fascinating! lastlib Dec 2017 #2
You'll need a honking big particle collider to do that. longship Dec 2017 #3

The neighbors will likely complain as it will be undoubtedly bigger than your backyard.

Don't even ask about the required power lines. Your homeowners association will get out the pitchforks and torches and the tar and feathers.

Alas, the price of tetraquarks.



Quantum chromodynamics is big science. Very big science! And it's getting larger every moment... just like Leon.




Merry Merry and Happy Happy to you and yours.
