Editorial: Quantum Leaps in Technology Transfer

Quantum leaps in technology transfer.

More than a few of us at NIEHS were born around 1940 and recall that modern communication consisted of the telephone and the radio. Just take a trip through time, and look at the 1930 through 1990 editions of Popular Mechanics posted on the Internet (1). In the 1950s, a few envied families owned a black and white television, and by the 1970s color television began to replace the older sets. Fax...

Quantum Leaps in Philosophy of Mind

The quantum mechanical theory of consciousness and freewill offered by Stapp (1993, 1995, 2000, 2004) is exposed and clarified. Decoherence based arguments against this view are undermined in an effort to draw attention to the real problems it faces: Stapp’s separate accounts of consciousness and freewill are incompatible, the interpretations of QM they are tied to are questionable, the Zeno ef...

Pathogenicity Islands: Bacterial Evolution in Quantum Leaps

At the same location where LEE has inserted into entero-pathogenic strains (McDaniel et al., 1995) a distinct patho-genicity island, PAI-1, has been identified in a uropatho-" I am the beneficiary o...

Application of quantum technology in radars

In this paper, the use of quantum technology in the radar system and the advantages of these radars as compared to classical radars have been analyzed. In the beginning, briefly, we present the basic structure of the theory of quantum electrodynamics, and then the role of photon in this theory and photon interactions is presented.  In the next step, the most general form of the quantum radar cr...
