Described as an elementary particle similar to the electron, with an electric charge -1 and a spin of 1⁄2, but with a much larger mass, the muon is the subject of several studies that try to improve our understanding of the standard model of physics. An anomaly linked to this particle, the... Published Fri, Sep 25, 2020
With a career initiated in the experimental field, and with experience in biophysics and atomic collisions, Prof. Eric Cavalcanti today is more connected to the work in the theoretical field.

We have known since the 1960’s that quantum theory is incompatible with our most basic intuition about cause and effect relationships. More precisely, Bell's theorem shows us that correlations obtained by measurements in entangled quantum systems cannot be explained by any theory that...  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
