    Extractions: skip to main skip to sidebar ZapperZ's physics blog on the world of Physics and Physicists. This perspective comes from someone who is a practicing physicist. I've heard about this research study, but I didn't pay that much attention to it until I saw that they had a video of this effect that was rather neat. It also confirms what I had suspected for a while. The study was done by a group of Japanese scientists/mathematicians about traffic jams that happened without any bottleneck [1]. In other words, there's no obvious obstacles, such as an on-ramp, or a constrictions, etc. that would be obvious causes for a traffic jam. All they did was increase the traffic density, and at some point, there's some "critical density" in which traffic jams simply occurs because people just don't all drive at the same speed. What is need is that you can actually this taking place in the video that they have included . I've always suspected this. I drive roughly 31 miles each way to work every day. I sometime get stuck in a couple of slow spots where traffic either slows down or stopped for periods of time. Yet, as you you drive some more, you speed back up again as if nothing has happened, and you don't see any reason why the traffic slowed down. I tend to blame it on slow cars in the left lane, but I had no proof that was the usual cause. Now, I have some evidence to back my haunch! :)

22. Mac OS X For Physicists
    Mac OS X is a powerful operating system that combines Unix underpinnings familar to particle physicists and easyto-use interface of Macintosh.

    Extractions: Mac OS X is a powerful operating system that combines Unix underpinnings familar to particle physicists and easy-to-use interface of Macintosh. This home page describes how to set up Mac OS X for the use by particle theorists or other physicists. Of course, you must install the operating system first. From the installer, don't choose "Easy Install" but "Customize" it so that X11 (see below) will be installed. Once you have installed the system from CD-ROM, go to the Apple Menu (the Apple logo at the top left corner of the screen) and choose "Software Update", and keep updating the system until you don't see any more updates. You can skip some updates, if you are dead sure that you will never use Arabic on your machine, or you won't use fancy MP3 player from Apple iPod. But install all of those that are not obviously useless for you. Apple renamed Developer Tools to Xcode. It is a collection of compilers, header files, libraries, and software development tools. You definitely want C compiler so that you can install standard Unix software. The CDs to install Xcode must have come with your system. Xcode is also freely available here if you sign up. Its compiler is a hacked version of gcc to support Objective C. The Xcode is big, though, weighing more than 800MB. Don't attempt a download without a broadband.

23. Physicists Demonstrate Qubit-Qutrit Entanglement
    PhysOrg news physicists Demonstrate QubitQutrit Entanglement.

    Extractions: PhysOrg Account: Sign In Sign Up Published: 10:31 EST, February 26, 2008 Toolbox By Lisa Zyga For the first time, physicists have entangled a qubit with a “qutrit” – the 3D version of the 2D qubit. Qubit-qutrit entanglement could lead to advantages in quantum computing, such as increased security and more efficient quantum gates, as well as enable novel tests of quantum mechanics. The research team, composed of physicists from the University of Queensland, the University of Bristol, and the University of Waterloo, has published its results in a recent issue of Physical Review Letters . The researchers made qutrits with biphotons (two correlated photons), resulting in “biphotonic qutrits.” Then, they entangled these qutrits with photonic qubits (made with one photon) using a combination of linear optic elements and measurements. A qutrit, just as it sounds, is the quantum information analogue of the classical trit. Due to its quantum mechanical nature, a qutrit can exist in superpositions of its three basis states. This is similar to how a qubit can exist in superpositions of its two states. Because of the qutrit’s 3D nature, though, it can carry much more information than the qubit. (A string of

26. Physicists Confirm Rare Particle Prediction, After 30 Years Of Study
    Highenergy physicists devoted to recreating the conditions at the beginning of the universe have for the first time observed a new way to produce those

    Extractions: Share Blog Cite Print Email Bookmark ScienceDaily (Mar. 12, 2008) See also: Detection of the event, which the collaboration made public March 9, was attributed to John Yelton, a physicist at the University of Florida, one of many institutions that are part of the CLEO collaboration. Among the products of the CESR collisions are the charmed-strange mesons, which exist for less than one-trillionth of a second before decaying into other more stable particles. Although charmed mesons have been studied for 30 years, no one had ever observed one decaying into a proton or neutron, as theory had predicted. This is notable because about 10 percent of all the collisions in the accelerator produce protons and neutrons. Yelton did not detect the anti-neutron directly but rather inferred its presence from data on energy and momentum of other particles. All told, he found 13 instances of charmed-strange mesons decaying into protons and anti-neutrons, retrieving and identifying those events from data on millions and millions of different collisions and their aftermaths. Yelton based his analysis on techniques developed at Syracuse University for the detection of two other types of rare subatomic particles, a muon and invisible neutrino.

    http://web.mit.edu/newsoffice/2005/matter.html
    
    Extractions: June 22, 2005 CAMBRIDGE, Mass. MIT scientists have brought a supercool end to a heated race among physicists: They have become the first to create a new type of matter, a gas of atoms that shows high-temperature superfluidity. Their work, to be reported in the June 23 issue of Nature, is closely related to the superconductivity of electrons in metals. Observations of superfluids may help solve lingering questions about high-temperature superconductivity, which has widespread applications for magnets, sensors and energy-efficient transport of electricity, said Wolfgang Ketterle, a Nobel laureate who heads the MIT group and who is the John D. MacArthur Professor of Physics as well as a principal investigator in MIT's Research Laboratory of Electronics. Seeing the superfluid gas so clearly is such a dramatic step that Dan Kleppner, director of the MIT-Harvard Center for Ultracold Atoms, said, "This is not a smoking gun for superfluidity. This is a cannon."

Everything here is subjective and personal opinion, but I hope that you will find it useful. Here is a good article from the Dec 1999 issue of The Industrial Physicist magazine, which describes the impact physicists are having on Wall Street: Risky business on Wall Street There is no doubt that physicists and "quants" make a real difference to the way in which Wall Street works in the 21st century. Read more about the trends and the dangers ... Physics with finance at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign In order to provide a cheap and easy way for physics students at my home institution to become knowledgeable in finance, I created a course option that yields a Masters in Finance for Physics students. Students registered for the University of Illinois Physics Ph.D can be enrolled in the Masters in Finance program, and receive credit for their physics courses. In other words, you can get a Masters in Finance for relatively little extra work. This is highly recommended for students contemplating a career as a quant on Wall Street. Unfortunately, this option has been discontinued at the time of writing (2008). Courses at other universities There are many courses offered in computational finance at academic institutions.
