UTC’s monthly Science on Tap series debuted Tuesday, Feb. 11, at the Tap House in St. Elmo.<\/p><\/div>\n

Turns out, when you invite people to grab something to eat, drink and to hear directly from a world-class scientist, people in Chattanooga show up.<\/p>\n

Almost 100 people, in fact, showed up on Tuesday, Feb. 11, for the debut presentation of Science on Tap. Organized by the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga,\u00a0Science on Tap<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0is planned to recur on the second Tuesday of every month as an opportunity to share UTC expertise with the community in a relaxed, social setting.<\/p>\n

Its presenter was the inaugural director of the UTC Quantum Center, Dr. Rick Mukherjee.<\/p>\n

\"\"In his talk, \u201cThe Quantum All Around Us,\u201d Mukherjee highlighted major developments of the first and second \u201cquantum revolutions.\u201d These are timely topics in 2025, which the United Nations has declared to be the international year for quantum science and technology.<\/p>\n

His brief presentation was a roll call of some of the most significant theoretical physicists in history, including Nobel Prize winners Max Planck, Albert Einstein and Niels Bohr, along with John Stewart Bell.<\/p>\n

About 125 years ago, Planck \u201ccame up with a completely pathbreaking interpretation of how light should be treated as photons,\u201d or discrete packets of energy, rather than waves, Mukherjee said. Then came Einstein, \u201cwho saw how energy can be transferred from photons to electrons\u2014the photoelectric effect, which is what his (1921) Nobel was awarded for, rather than his more famous theory of relativity.\u201d<\/p>\n

In 1922, Bohr won the Nobel in physics for his theories on atomic structure and quantum theory.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s where he gave a quantum theory for matter, basically how to model atoms, and now you take matter and light and make them interact because that\u2019s what\u2019s happening every day in whatever object you see, whatever you do, it\u2019s light interacting with matter,\u201d Mukherjee said.<\/p>\n

Bell was cited for the mathematical criteria he created to distinguish quantum correlations\u2014such as involving entangled photons\u2014from classical correlations. A classical correlation example, Mukherjee explained, is such as when a friend is wearing the left-hand glove of the only gloves you own, and you\u2019re with your friend, looking for the other glove. You know the missing glove is for the right hand.<\/p>\n

The work of these and others marked the \u201cfirst quantum revolution.\u201d It yielded applications and technologies we take for granted now, Mukherjee said, including lasers\u2014along with related bar-code readers, laser surgery and laser lights; computer semiconductors; magnetic resonance imaging and GPS systems.<\/p>\n

In the \u201csecond quantum revolution\u201d on which the world appears to be embarking now, Mukherjee said, potential future applications include quantum computing, quantum sensing and quantum cryptography.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople are trying to build better quantum sensing. There are exotic materials, new drug discoveries that can come from quantum research. That\u2019s quantum materials,\u201d Mukherjee said. \u201cThen there is secure quantum internet and distributed quantum computing where there\u2019s an active area of research going on. Of course, the holy grail is to build a fault-tolerant quantum computer.\u201d<\/p>\n

That\u2019s a computer that could overcome the inherent fragility of quantum information so that it could continue functioning despite the presence of errors or imperfections.<\/p>\n

Over the course of a robust Q&A session that followed Mukherjee\u2019s talk, he described what\u2019s happening at the UTC Quantum Center, which he joined in December. Experiments with quantum networks, quantum sensing and developing quantum algorithms are underway or planned.<\/p>\n

Mukherjee praised the Center\u2019s high-profile collaborators, EPB and Oak Ridge National Laboratory, for what their partnership is enabling UTC to do within the research community and for Chattanooga, the state and beyond.<\/p>\n

Mukherjee came to Chattanooga from serving as a scientist at the Center for Optical Quantum Technologies at the University of Hamburg in Germany. He earned a doctorate from the Max Planck Institute for Physics of Complex Systems in Dresden, Germany. He has had research stints at Harvard University and Rice University, as well as a research associate post at Imperial College London\u2014a global top 10 university in science, engineering, business and medicine.<\/p>\n

He is organizing an unprecedented Quantum Technology Workshop that will bring scholars from around the world to Chattanooga in June when UTC hosts this event.<\/p>\n

Next event<\/h4>\n

Robert Lake Wilson Professor of Geology Amy Brock-Hon is the featured presenter at the next Science on Tap, which will take place from 5-7 p.m. on Tuesday, March 11, at the Tap House in St. Elmo. Brock-Hon will discuss how Raccoon Mountain Caverns<\/strong><\/a>\u2014newly gifted to UTC\u2014will be used as an asset for research and teaching.<\/p>\n
