In July 1925, physicist Werner Heisenberg wrote a letter to Wolfgang Pauli sharing his new ideas about what would eventually become known as <a href="https://www.sciencefriday.com/segments/quantum-mechanics-100-years/?utm_source=wnyc&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=scifri" target="_blank">quantum theory</a>. A hundred years later, that theory has been expanded into a field of science that explains aspects of chemical behavior, has become the basis of a new type of computing, and more. But it’s still really weird, and often counterintuitive. Physicist Chad Orzel joins Host Ira Flatow to celebrate 100 years of quantum science, and separate quantum fact from science fiction.Guest: Dr. Chad Orzel is the R. Gordon Gould Associate Professor of Physics and Astronomy, and chair of the department, at Union College in Schenectady, New York.Transcripts for each episode are available within 1-3 days at<a href="https://www.sciencefriday.com/segments/quantum-mechanics-100-years/?utm_source=wnyc&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=scifri" target="_blank"> sciencefriday.com.</a>
