TCD academics say that Santa Claus and his reindeer travel so widely because of their mastery of quantum physicsLeading Trinity College Dublin professors and academics have explained, for the first time, how quantum physics technology allows Santa Claus to deliver billions of gifts in one night. In a ground-breaking paper, Professor John Goold claims to have uncovered the scientific formula that allows Santa and several reindeer to move from home to home in nanoseconds. “There is little doubt now to quantum physicists that Santa is exploiting what we know as ‘macroscopic quantum coherence’, which is precisely the same resource used by cutting-edge quantum technologies to outperform technologies based on classical physics,” said Prof Goold. Quantum physics describes the basic building blocks of the material we can see around us. It looks set for a new lease of life with the TCD discovery over Santa’s application of it.
