After stating the author's ontic position, a collage of relevant thoughts of some distinguished foundationally-minded physicists are quoted and polemically commented upon. Thus, a kind of historical background of the recent ontic…
The article is an historical overview of some of the major contributions from different areas of Science with which, for centuries, it has been built up a scientific, sound and consistent vision of the atom. Some experiments that led us to…
The answers on the current status and future development of Quantum Science and Technology are presented.
Quantum computing exposes the brilliance of quantum mechanics through computer science and, as such, gives oneself a marvelous and exhilarating journey to go through. This article leads along that journey with a historical and current…
In this talk, I review progress in experimental QCD in the last year, concentrating on the results and phenomenology of the first year of running of the LHC.
Some recent results and problems in the theory of particles containing heavy quarks ar reviewed.
During the five days of this conference a very dense scientific program has enlighted our research fields, with the presentation of large number of interesting lectures. I will try to summarize the theoretical aspects of some of these new…
A review is presented of the origin and development of the atomic hypothesis from antiquity till about the first millennium of the common era.
The concept of quantum computing has inspired a whole new generation of scientists, including physicists, engineers, and computer scientists, to fundamentally change the landscape of information technology. With experimental demonstrations…
The new millennium's qualitative advances in relativistic heavy ion physics are in part due to, and are in part causing, a new appreciation for quantitative rigor in both experimental and theoretical work in the field. In these proceedings…
Experiments directed towards the development of a quantum computer based on trapped atomic ions are described briefly. We discuss the implementation of single qubit operations and gates between qubits. A geometric phase gate between two ion…
This summary is an attempt to overview the wealth of new results and ideas in quarkonium physics presented at the Seattle Workshop.
A brief review of the latest developments in the spectroscopy of heavy quarks is presented. The current status of the recently `discovered' pentaquarks is also discussed.
A proposal for an experiment to look at some possibly novel aspects of quantum interference is presented, along with some Engineering applications that might result.
In the quantum statistical parton distributions approach proposed more than one decade ago, one imposes relations between quarks and antiquarks expressions, which lead to very specific properties for the antiquarks. These properties have…
We discuss the possibility of making a quasi time crystal. A simple two-state model is studied to clarify our definition. In a superposition of the ground state and the excited state and the probability of observation varies periodically in…
The origin of the colours of quarks has been explored and the number of colours equal to three has been derived from the fractal properties suggested in the statistical model.The quark gluon coupling constant has been reproduced and the…
Some of the means through which the possible presence of nearly deconfined quarks in neutron stars can be detected by astrophysical observations of neutron stars from their birth to old age are highlighted.
In this article the current understanding of fundamental particles and their interactions is presented for the interested non-specialist, by adopting a semi-historical path. A discussion on the unresolved problems is also presented.
This essay is based on a physics lecture given at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology on May 24, 2006, Hong Kong. It has 5 sections and one page of references and suggested reading. The section titles are: 1. Origin of the…
