About science and cinema with Edward Farhi, the director of MIT’s Center for Theoretical Physics

Edward Farhi has studied the complexities of building a time machine, though not of the phone-booth variety, but has also worked on astrophysics, general relativity, and the foundations of quantum mechanics. His current interest is the theory of quantum computation. He was on the staff at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center and at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland before coming to MIT, where he joined the faculty in 1982. He has won three teaching awards at MIT and has presented his research at many of the world’s leading physics research centers.
