Eigenbros

Is this the last episode of the eigenbros??! Juan and Terence discuss the future of the channel and how the content will be changing over the next few months.

Juan, Terence, and Jackson reunite with marine biologist Jackson. They discuss several concepts related to biology

Juan and Terence invite guest Harold Sonny White who is responsible for writing the paper on the Alcubierre White warp drive. The Alcubierre metric was made practical by Sonny White after modifying the ship geometry into a torus. This reduced the required energy to bend spacetime by several orders of magnitude bringing this theoretical novelty closer to reality.

Juan & Terence discuss what the STEM job market is like and some of the things to look out for when applying for jobs.

Juan & Terence discuss Quantum Gravity and what it means to quantize a theory of gravity. Quantum Mechanics and General Relativity are two of the most robust theories of physics but they are incompatible currently. It is presumed that a complete theory of everything will be a theory of quantum gravity.

Juan & Terence discuss pros and cons of being a racial minority in physics and their thoughts in general.

Juan & Terence discuss the different types of quantum computing qubits

Juan & Terence discuss life as an experimental physicist.

Juan & Terence discuss the Fractional Quantum Hall Effect, which is a leading concept in the field of condensed matter physics.

This week, the Eigenbros answer r/AskPhysics most pressing questions (top upvoted questions in the past year) whether they wanted this or not. NOTE: Apologies for the audio/video folks, we had some technical issues with hardware that were corrected in post. But we'll be back next week with things back to normal.

Juan & Terence discuss the powerful and modern physics mathematics known as Geometric Algebra. Geometric Algebra (Clifford Algebra) is one of the lesser known mathematics in physics, yet it is very powerful. The geometric product is related to complex numbers, spin, and other aspects of physics.

Juan & Terence discuss time crystals as conceived of by Frank Wilcek (physicist/mathematician/nobelaureate). The gents give their thoughts about what it is and why its important. Quantum Computing, many-body physics, and spintronics are all related topics that are discussed during the show.

Juan & Terence discuss popular public intellectuals like Neil Degrasse Tyson, Brian Greene, and Michio Kaku. They also discuss the Intellectual Dark Webs which contains Eric Weinstein, Bret Weinstein, Joe Rogan, Sam Harris, and Jordan Peterson. The discussion is about the role of public intellectuals and whether they are good for society or not.

Juan & Terence discuss the Many Worlds Interpretation of quantum mechanics and their thoughts regarding it.

Juan & Terence discuss Grover's algorithm. Grover's algorithm is one of the few quantum algorithms that hold promise for a significant speedup compared to the classical version of the algorithm. The Eigenbros (try to) decipher the way Grover's algorithm works in a more discussion based format.

Juan & Terence discuss quantum information and what it is. Entropy and quantum teleportation are a couple of the heavy topics discussed.

Juan & Terence react to Richard Branson's Virgin Galactic commercial space flight on Spaceship 2.

Juan & Terence explain what quantum field theory is and what several videos on the subject. David Tong, Dietterich Labs, and Zap Physics have videos in the podcast that demonstrate important aspects of the theory. This video goes over how to quantize the real free scalar field (Klein-Gordon).

The eigenbros do a late evening podcast to try and tackle a modern quantum mechanical topic: the "Delayed Choice Quantum Eraser" experiment. They also discuss foundations of quantum mechanics.

Juan & Terence discuss tips on applying to physics graduate schools.

Juan & Terence interview mathematician PhD, with a background in gauge theory, Timothy Nguyen. Tim along with Theo Polya wrote a paper titled "A Response to Geometric Unity," which went through the major flaws in Eric's Weinstein's theory of physics. 1) Problems with the shiab operator, 2) gauge anomalies, 3) Supersymmetry issues in 14 dimensions, and 4) a lack of technical details.

Juan & Terence test their physics trivia knowledge by taking a couple multiple choice online physics quizzes. Take the first physics quiz here: https://www.britannica.com/quiz/all-about-physics-quiz
