Dec 14, 2020 “Suhail has been instrumental in everything that we’ve done. He’s always had the physics sharply in focus and done beautiful scientific work, and he has an excellent mind for what the student needs to hear and learn. It takes a master teacher to do that. They don’t call him ‘distinguished professor’ for nothing.” Dr. Marlan O. Scully, Texas A&M physicist and National Academy of Sciences member BRYAN-COLLEGE STATION

But by the principles of quantum mechanics, under certain conditions, it is possible.
