He has also written for Nature, Nautilus, Matter, The Wall Street Journal, National Geographic News, and the UK’s Literary Review.

Anil presents the 200 year old, simple double slit experiment and hints at its profound reach, which is explored more fully in his book. In this talk, Anil walks us through the Mach-Zehnder Interferometer as the theoretical foundation for Interaction-free measurement, which he illustrates with the Elitzur–Vaidman bomb-testing problem.
