Title: Quantum Steampunk: The Physics of Yesterday's Tomorrow
Author: Nicole Yunger Halpern
Narrator: Raechel Wong

Length: 08:11:05
Language: English
Release date: 04-12-22

Summary:
Victorian era steam engines and particle physics may seem worlds apart, yet a new branch of science, quantum thermodynamics, reenvisions the scientific underpinnings of the Industrial Revolution through the lens of today's roaring quantum information revolution. Classical thermodynamics needs reimagining to take advantage of quantum mechanics, the basic framework that explores the nature of reality by peering at minute matters, down to the momentum of a single particle.
In her exciting new book, Harvard physicist Dr. Nicole Yunger Halpern introduces these concepts with what she calls 'quantum steampunk,' after the fantastical genre that pairs futuristic technologies with Victorian sensibilities. While listeners follow the adventures of a rag-tag steampunk crew on trains, dirigibles, and automobiles, they explore questions such as, 'Can quantum physics revolutionize engines?' and 'What deeper secrets can quantum information reveal about the trajectory of time?'
Yunger Halpern also describes her own adventures in the quantum universe and provides an insider's look at the work of the scientists obsessed with its technological promise. Quantum Steampunk explores the field's aesthetic, shares its whimsy, and gazes into the potential of a quantum future. The result is a blast for fans of science, science fiction, and fantasy.
