The first ever image of a black hole taken by @ehtelescope. More precisely, it's the image of the matter around the black hole interacting, heating up and releasing radiation before falling behind the event horizon, from which nothing can escape. This picture would hence not be possible without the many body interactions between matter and light! . . . #ehtelescope #eht #blackhole #eventhorizontelescope #eventhorizon #outreach #astronomy #manybodyphysics #plasma #red #orange #photography https://www.instagram.com/p/BwGcRtPFCCf/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1qaj06gwq7kva

Clouds of ultracold atoms (just a fraction of a degree above absolute zero!) hover inside a vacuum chamber only held by electric and magnetic fields while fluorescing light. Find out how these atoms can be turned into a quantum simulator in @bea4keys post on @manybodyphysics.com (link in Bio).

Why we need #quantumcomputing : Some tasks become extremely hard for classical computers to solve, such as factoring, but also the #complex problems of #machinelearning, and quantum chemistry. New #materials could be found if the latter could be solved efficiently on a quantum computer, from new #batteries to #solar cells, or very hard materials for building. . . . #quantum #physics #illustration #drawing #art #computation #science #globalwarming #blackandwhite https://www.instagram.com/p/Brso-cmlK-W/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=lojxg8wrhau4

In a normal metal, electrons get slowed down by bumping into atoms and other electrons. This leads to heat loss as we try to transport electricity from A to B. Read about how this is overcome by quantum physics in a superconductor in our latest post!

The tango dance of Cooper pairs (two electrons with opposite spin) is one of the central points in the explanation of #superconductivity. Find out more about how it works and what it's impact on fighting global warming is in our new post - Link in Bio! . . . #drawing #ink #dance #globalwarming #quantumcomputing #quantum #inktober #tango #manybodyphysics https://www.instagram.com/p/BrVmr5mF8bZ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1dm68i014jqgb

This week: Find out how one of many body physic's classic phenomena, #superconductivity, might help fight #climatechange and therefore protect rainforests like this one in #capetribulation in #australia. It is one of the oldest #rainforests in the world as it stayed close to the equator even when the tectonic plates and therefore continents shifted. . . . #photography #travel #queensland #globalwarming #art #mirrorless #dslr #mirrorlesscamera #forest #green #hiking #filter # (at Mount Sorrow) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bq1-gbZFDWm/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1dqwok8hkqi7a

Inktober Day 13: The nobel prize for physics in 2018 got partially rewarded to Arthur Ashkin for the invention of #optical #tweezers, a highly intense laser beam that can transport biological cells, viruses, and even single atoms, keeping them #guarded from the gravitational force. This technology has been used in major breakthroughs in molecular biology and is at the base of the most powerful #quantumcomputers. . . #inktober #inktober2018 #inktoberprompts #comic #sketch #stabilo #quantum #nobelprize #physics #biology https://www.instagram.com/p/Bo68XC5HOEd/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1b5zit0ft3di5

Inktober Day 8: In quantum mechanics, particles like atoms or electrons can behave like waves and electromagnetic radiation (a.k.a. light) can behave like particles. This "particle-wave" duality is partially resolved in quantum field theory, the most fundamental theory of matter we know - there, particles are excitations of a fabric ("field") extending throughout all space and time. . #inktober #inktober2018 #ink #drawing #physics #quantum #electrons #quantum #waves #field https://www.instagram.com/p/Boqq_H6HW-B/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1o4ozq0rs8bia

Inktober Day 3: "Let's get #roasted ", the two electrons thought before they threw themselves into the trough of a phonon passing through. Little did they know that would entangle them into a pair and allow to flow without resistance through the lattice of their parent material. (This illustrates the way how superconductivity emerges: two electrons of opposite spin get together to form a "Cooper pair" which then can form a super fluid with other pairs and allow frictionless transport of charge.) . . . #inktober #inktober2018 #roasted #ink #drawing #physics #quantum #electrons #superconductivity #artinscience #art #inktoberprompts #lines #lineart #outreach #sketch #sciencecommunication https://www.instagram.com/p/BogSy_NnLnS/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=jenr8mbpty9p
