My name is Mithuna Yoganathan and I did my PhD in theoretical physics at the University of Cambridge. My channel is about the strange world of mathematics and science.
From Looking Glass Universe. Donate to FarmKind at: https://www.farmkind.giving/donate?promo=lookingglass I finished my PhD in quantum computing in 2020. I loved the research, my supervisor and my colleagues were amazing, and the field was booming with new start ups being spun out everywhere. I choose to leave the field behind anyway. Here’s why.

From Looking Glass Universe. This video is about the biggest lie people are told about the double slit experiment: that electrons are particles when they’re observed, but waves when they’re not. The truth is much more interesting.

From Looking Glass Universe. This video is about the quantum eraser experiment. Understanding this experiment helps us understand the measurement problem in quantum physics, and it might even give us a clue for how to solve it. The write up of the mathematics of the quantum eraser is here: https://looking-glass-universe.teachable.com/courses/quantum-mechanics-fundamentals13/lectures/60992171 It does require knowing the…
From Looking Glass Universe. How do MRIs work? It turns out that MRIs measure the quantum spin of your protons, and use that information to make a super detailed 3D map of your body.

From Looking Glass Universe. This video is about Richard Feynman’s Quantum Electrodynamics (QED), which says that light is made of photons that go on all possible paths at once. The experiment in the video is from the following video from Veritasium. Even though I don’t agree fully agree with their interpretation of the experiment, I…
