Read moreFinding common ground between schoolchildren and quantum mechanics researchers is no easy task. After all, understanding quantum mechanics - the physics that governs the behavior of matter and light at the atomic (and subatomic) scale - can be daunting even for some physicists. However, through a recent collaboration with Google, researchers at Caltech have created a new space for this unlikely interaction - in the world of Minecraft, a popular video game.
