was the time that Hillis asked Nobel-prize winning physicist Richard Feynman to tip him off about any smart scientists Thinking Machines might hire. Feynman, pushing 60, volunteered himself and spent his summer vacations for the next ten years with Hillis and his team.1?! When it came time to test the fir

As Feynman explains in his Lectures in Physics, “...out of all possible paths that light might take from one point another, light takes the path that requires t

The true magic of quantum mechanics occurs next. When mer- cury (or any of several other materials) is cooled below a certain point, a phase

nergy is available from the thermal bath at low temperature. Alternatively, we might wonder if the collision could break apart two electrons from a Cooper pair in the condensate—sort of like knocking off the rearview mirror when a truck collides with a post. But at low temperatures everything is movin

The notion that one might ultimately extend the techniques that Feynman and others had developed to tame quantum electrody- namics to try to understand more complex theories such as spontane- ously broken Yang-Mills theor
