    The Quantum Story of Fall: How Light Turns Leaves to Gold

    As the days grow shorter and the air turns crisp, the trees begin their most beautiful transformation. But what's really happening when green leaves turn shades of red, orange, and gold? In this episode of Quantum and Beyond, I explore how trees draw energy from the soil, how chlorophyll works its magic, and how Planck's equation (E = hf) reveals the hidden physics of fall. From energy to color, this is the quantum story of autumn—and why it makes me love this season even more.  Topics covered: How trees get nutrients from the soil Why leaves are green Why leaves change color in the fall How quantum physics (E = hf) connects to it all  ✨ Quantum and Beyond — Bridging the gap between science, society, and the journey of discovery.

    The Schrödinger Equation: More Than Just Ink

    Why would a physicist choose to ink the Schrödinger equation on their arm? In this episode of Quantum and Beyond, I share the story behind my tattoo and explore the meaning of this iconic equation in quantum physics. From describing wave functions to revealing how particles behave at the most fundamental level, the Schrödinger equation is more than just math—it's a window into the nature of reality. Whether you're here for the science, the story, or a bit of both, this episode connects the math to meaning in a way that's understandable and inspiring. ✨ Quantum and Beyond — Making quantum physics, personal to you
