Common questions about Quantum Horizons and our research

General Questions

What is Quantum Horizons?

Quantum Horizons is an analytical platform dedicated to exploring the theoretical foundations, paradoxes, and mathematical structures of quantum physics. Founded in 2017 in Cambridge, United Kingdom, we provide rigorous analysis of quantum mechanical principles through carefully researched articles, expert discussions, and comprehensive educational resources. Our mission is to bridge the gap between technical academic literature and accessible scientific communication while maintaining the highest standards of accuracy and intellectual honesty.

Who are the authors of the articles?

Our articles are written by qualified physicists and researchers with expertise in quantum mechanics, quantum field theory, and theoretical physics. Our core team includes Dr. Eleanor Mitchell (Ph.D. in Theoretical Physics), Prof. James Ashworth (expert in quantum interpretations), Dr. Sophia Chen (quantum cosmology specialist), and Dr. Michael Rodriguez (mathematical physics). We also occasionally feature guest contributions from collaborating researchers and institutions, subject to rigorous editorial review.

Who is your target audience?

Our content serves physicists, researchers, graduate students, undergraduate physics majors, educators, scientific journalists, and anyone with serious interest in understanding quantum physics beyond popular simplifications. While we strive for accessibility, our articles assume some familiarity with mathematical concepts and scientific methodology. We aim to provide depth and precision rather than oversimplified explanations.

Can I submit my own research or article?

Yes! We welcome article submissions from qualified researchers and physicists. Articles should focus on theoretical aspects of quantum mechanics, quantum field theory, quantum interpretations, or related topics. All submissions undergo peer review by our editorial team. To submit an article or inquire about submission guidelines, please contact us at info@quantumhorizons.org with "Article Submission" in the subject line. Include your credentials, proposed topic, and a brief abstract (200-300 words).

How can I contact the editorial team?

You can reach us through multiple channels: email at info@quantumhorizons.org, by phone at +44 20 7946 7832 (Monday-Friday, 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM GMT), or via the contact form on our Contact page. For research collaboration inquiries, please include "Collaboration Inquiry" in the subject line. We typically respond to inquiries within 24-48 hours during business days.

Content and Resources

How often do you publish new content?

We publish new research articles and analyses on a regular basis, typically 2-3 major articles per month. The frequency depends on the depth and complexity of topics being explored. We prioritize quality and accuracy over quantity. Additionally, we periodically update existing resources and expand our educational materials based on new research developments and reader feedback.

Are your articles peer-reviewed?

All articles published on Quantum Horizons undergo internal editorial review by our team of qualified physicists to ensure accuracy, clarity, and scientific rigor. While this process resembles peer review, it is distinct from formal academic peer review conducted by scientific journals. We cite peer-reviewed literature extensively and ensure our content aligns with established scientific understanding while clearly distinguishing speculative or interpretive discussions.

Can I use your content for educational purposes?

Brief excerpts may be quoted for educational purposes with proper attribution to Quantum Horizons and the specific article author. For extensive use, republication, incorporation into course materials, or translation, please contact us for explicit permission. We support educational use of our materials and are generally accommodating to reasonable requests from educators and students, provided proper attribution is maintained.

Do you offer consulting or tutoring services?

Quantum Horizons primarily operates as an educational platform and research resource. We do not offer individual tutoring services. However, we are open to institutional collaborations, workshop organization, and educational partnership discussions. For specific inquiries about specialized consultations or collaborative projects, please contact us to discuss possibilities and availability.

How do you choose topics for articles?

Article topics are selected based on several factors: foundational importance to quantum physics, current research developments, unresolved theoretical questions, reader inquiries, and educational value. We aim to balance coverage of established principles with exploration of cutting-edge research and interpretational debates. Reader suggestions are welcome and often influence our editorial planning.

Technical Questions

What level of mathematics is required to understand the content?

Understanding varies by article. Some content requires familiarity with calculus, linear algebra, and differential equations. More advanced topics may assume knowledge of functional analysis, group theory, or differential geometry. We provide conceptual explanations alongside mathematical formalism where possible. For readers building mathematical background, we recommend starting with our foundational articles and progressively exploring more advanced topics.

Do you recommend textbooks or additional resources?

While individual articles may reference specific texts, we plan to develop a comprehensive reading list covering quantum mechanics, quantum field theory, and mathematical methods. Standard recommendations include Griffiths for introductory quantum mechanics, Sakurai for intermediate level, and Weinberg for quantum field theory. We also recommend exploring ArXiv preprints and review articles for cutting-edge developments.

How can I stay updated on new articles?

Currently, the best way to stay updated is to bookmark our Blog page and check periodically for new content. We are developing newsletter and RSS feed capabilities for automatic notifications. You can also follow us through our contact channels and express interest in receiving updates about new publications and research developments.
