  1. The Next Quantum Frontier Todd A. Brun University of Southern California

  2. Quantum mechanics has been very fruitfully applied to computing, and to communications, as we all know. But why stop there? THERE IS A WHOLE WORLD OF QUANTUM APPLICATIONS WAITING TO BE DISCOVERED! (Funding agencies, take note!) For instance, we’ve all heard of quantum metrology. But what about…

  3. Quantum Meteorology Heisenberg’s Umbrella Principle: Does forgetting your umbrella make it more likely to rain?

  4. Quantum Cooking Gateau à la Schrödinger:  +  By the careful application of quantum mechanics, you can have your cake and eat it, too!

  5. Zeno’s caloric paradox: A watched pot never boils!

  6. QM in Private Life When my wife asks me if I did something wrong… I explain that it is impossible to really know what happened in the past!

  7. (Unfortunately, this doesn’t always work.)

  8. Conclusions: Pioneering New Fields • Choose a topic that has never had the word “quantum” put in front of it • (E.g., “animal husbandry”) • Insert the word “quantum” in front of it • (E.g., “quantum animal husbandry”) • Apply for funding! (Dear Department of agriculture, please send money…) Go get them! Don’t take no for an answer!
