Why we must inspire people with the magic of condensed matter physics

Condensed matter is a huge field of physics that gets less attention than it deserves. We must show people its subtle magic if we are to draw in a diverse set of researchers for the next generation, says Felix Flicker

Quantum entanglement. Conceptual artwork of a pair of entangled quantum particles or events (left and right) interacting at a distance. Quantum entanglement is one of the consequences of quantum theory. Two particles will appear to be linked across space and time, with changes to one of the particles (such as an observation or measurement) affecting the other one. This instantaneous effect appears to be independent of both space and time, meaning that, in the quantum realm, effect may precede cause.
