I had to redo an old animation about quantum tunnelling in the time domain, so why not post it here?

A few details:
* The incident and reflected waves interfere, creating fringes in the wavefunction modulus when it hits the barrier.
* Even when far away from the barrier, the wavefunction of the "free" particle is slowly broadening.

The United Nations has proclaimed 2025 the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology (IYQ).

At the @mpi_grav and the Institute for Gravitational Physics at @unihannover quantum mechanics has always played a major role in both experiment and theory.

We have put together a page for you that showcases our research related to quantum physics, associated press releases, relevant articles in yearbooks of the @maxplanckgesellschaft and, later during the year, current events.

"Quantum gravity from entropy? If this theory holds, we might finally bridge the gap between the cosmic and the quantum. Physics is rewriting its own rules—again. #Science #QuantumMechanics"

Just a bit of light reading regarding time and reality. I think New Scientist covers a similar thing in this month’s issue…

What if *mimicry*—the ability to replicate and recognize patterns—is a fundamental dimension of reality, shaping not just biology but consciousness itself? A new exploration suggests that alongside state change, contrast, and cause and effect, mimicry bridges the physical and metaphysical. Could this hold the key to understanding consciousness or even communicating with alien intelligences?

Juliane von Wrangel is a PhD student in the “10 m Prototype” group

Together with her colleagues she is building a 10-metre interferometer to overcome the fundamental limits of measurement accuracy imposed by quantum mechanics.

How Hans Bethe Stumbled Upon Perfect Quantum Theories

Quantum calculations amount to sophisticated estimates. But in 1931, Hans Bethe intuited precisely how a chain of particles would behave — an insight that had far-reaching consequences.

"The Tumultuous Birth of Quantum Mechanics"
by Philip Ball

https://physics.aps.org/articles/v18/24

"quantum mechanics wasn’t created all at once. It took several decades and was a messy, confused process, during most of which the true nature of this revolution was obscure. In some ways it still is."
