Brian Koberlein, whose blog I read on a daily basis, is beginning a series which looks at the quantum revolution.

This shift can be summarized in six simple equations shown below. Each one was a step toward modern quantum theory.

1. The more you have, the faster it is gone.
2. Sometimes you have to make a quantum leap.
3. Every temperature has a color.
4. Light is a wave, except when it’s not.
5. What you observe depends on how you observe it.
6. There are some things you can never know.

So this week we’ll look at each of these equations, how we came to understand them, and how they changed our view of the universe forever. We’ll start with the first one tomorrow. It describes radioactive decay, and it was the first clue that certain effects don’t have a mechanical cause.

The quantum revolution starts tomorrow.
