The multiple puns in the title play on a curiosity, that the rescue of a person overboard at sea and the dominance of the second Born term in charge transfer in atomic collisions share common elements of physics. Essentials and commonality in the two are explained.
This dialogue explores the possibility of updating a probability as a consequence of unlearning, reversing the role of prior and posterior probabilities.
A source of entangled photons that emits one, and only one, pair of photons on demand has now been realized in a semiconductor chip. The solid-state source will be a useful resource for experiments in optical quantum information.
We present here the European project SciCafé - networking of science cafés in Europe and neighboring countries, and the contributions of the CSDC-Caffè Scienza partner in Florence, Itay.
Intense neutrino beams that accompany muon colliders can be used for interstellar communications. The presence of multi-TeV extraterrestrial muon collider at several light-years distance can be detected after one year run of IceCube type neutrino telescopes, if the neutrino beam is directed towards the Earth. This opens a new avenue in SETI: search for extraterrestrial muon colliders.
The new explanation of global tendencies (in particular, of natural calamities and other disasters, taking place in present time in different countries) is suggested.
Moderated by a director, laymen and students are encouraged to assume the role of quanta and enact a quantum cryptographic protocol. The performance is based on a generalized urn model capable of reproducing complementarity even for classical chocolate balls.
The history of the Department of Energy's Institute for Nuclear Theory, located on the campus of the University of Washington, is reviewed on the occasion of the INT's tenth anniversary.
