The Quantum Physics behind Jumper

Posted on September 10, 2010

In the spirit of our upcoming Science Fiction semester, here is a recap of an interesting event that happened at MIT a year and a half ago to promote the movie “Jumper”. Professors Edward Farhid (Quantum Computing) and Mark Tegmark (Parallel Universes) were brought in to weigh in on the scientific accuracy of the movie and teleportation. Doug Liman (director) and Hayden Christensen (star actor) were both in attendance.
