...world premiere in the little town of Yelm, Wash. (pop. 3,289). It's an odd hybrid of science documentary and spiritual revelation, featuring a Greek chorus of Ph.D.s and mystics talking about quantum physics. It has a title that will be a challenge to typesetters across the country: What tHe #$*! Do wE (k)now!? (fans simply call it "What the Bleep?"). Yet this idiosyncratic indie film has become a sleeper hit in theaters up and down the West Coast, earning a surprising $1.7 million since February. Next month it will roll out on more than 100 screens nationwide...
Deaf actress Marlee Matlin stars as an embittered divorce who redefines her notion of reality after learning how quantum physics interacts with molecular biology. The explanations of physics are so visual--and, yes, understandable--that even moviegoers who struggled with high school math are enthralled. "We tried to give it that Friday-night-movie feeling," says William Arntz, one of the film's three creators (he financed its $5 million budget with earnings from his software businesses). "And that's not easy to do with electrons...
Despite the theoretical advantages of the quantum key code, Myers said researchers had to ensure the quantum network would be as secure as the equations suggest it should...
Myers said researchers have been intrigued by the possibility of an encryption network using weak light since a 1984 scientific paper broached the possibility of such an impregnable system. He added that Harvard has been working on making the quantum code key a reality since...
...said the researchers hope to be able to squeeze all the materials needed for the quantum network into a box small enough to be placed in a sewer...
