- Whether you Quantum Jump for: Wealth. Optimal health. Strengthening Intuition. Mystical experiences. You can do anything that you (literally) put your mind to A Guided Quantum Jumping Meditation. First, before we “make the jump”, we must get into a meditative state. Or as Burt call’s it, “the jumping off point”.
- Burt Goldman’s Quantum Jumping 2.0 Program Review-A Must Try Visualization Method. Writing a review of Burt Goldman’s Quantum Jumping program is really a great pleasure for me.Why?- Because it is something which is not just about achieving various goals or getting a certain life like the usual self help programs I write about, it is based.
- Quantum Jumping is a guided meditation/visualization exercise. This allows it to be used by anyone. Don’t let the name fool you, there is no need to be skilled in the art of meditation. In fact, all you need is a pair of headphones and a device to play your meditations on.
To the hopeful dreamer,
This is done with a specific tone and chant. You only need to do this exercise for 3 days, afterwards, it is permanent. Sit with your back straight. Breathe in through your nose and hold your breath as long as is comfortable. Open your jaws so there is a small space between your top and bottom teeth.
Remember all those dreams you had back when you were a child?
At some point in your life you may have wanted to be anastronaut. Or a world-class athlete. Or an adventurer.
Maybe you dreamt of changing the world, or becoming so rich and successful that you had a mansion in every country and your own fleet of private jets. What happened to all those dreams?
I’ll tell you what. As you grew older, you were forced to start living in the “real world”. Your teachers told you to stop daydreaming. Your parents told you to be “realistic” and get a good job. Bills and responsibilities started pouring in, and before you knew it, your childhood dreams had vanished into thin air.
But imagine for a second that somewhere out there, there is a version of you who is able to turn those dreams into reality.
A fact stolen straight from a sci-fi flick…
I’d like to show you that the keys to you’ve ever wanted in life—success, talent, wealth, wellness, happiness, lie hidden in alternate versions of the universe we live in.
And that in these alternate universes, mirror images of yourself are living out their lives, just as you are.

SCIENTISTS have finally witnessed the proverbial quantum jump.
This instantaneous switching between energy levels in the atom has become an indispensable part of the dogma of modern physics - the ultimate declaration that nature is discontinuous in its core, more like a staircase than a ramp. As a real phenomenon, it has always been too fleeting to detect.
But now the quantum jump has been observed in the laboratories of three teams of physicists, working independently in the United States and Germany. In one case it appeared, visible to the eye through a jerry-built microscope, as a single, shining atom blinking on and off.
The observations, ending what one of the physicists called a 'frantic competition,' were reported almost but not quite simultaneously by teams at the University of Washington, the University of Hamburg and the National Bureau of Standards in Boulder, Colo.
The experiments required newly developed technology as well as a special ingenuity in probing ghostly events at the crossroads of matter and energy.
The new technology creates 'traps' from electrical fields, allowing an experimenter to isolate individual atoms in a small vacuum chamber. The scientists suspended these atoms in space, damping their motion and thus cooling them to a temperature of a few thousands of a degree above absolute zero. And they energized them with laser light to produce the jump.
Since 1913, when Niels Bohr, the father of quantum mechanics, put the idea forward as a mathematical convenience, physicists have accepted it so completely that they can no longer imagine a universe in which atoms glide continuously from one energy level to another.
Nevertheless, the ordinary mob action of atoms moving en masse has always hidden quantum jumps amid average, statistical behavior. So the first actual observation of discrete behavior in individual atoms comes as a dazzling piece of confirmation.
'You have the ultimate unit doing the dance all by itself - that's the beauty and elegance of it,' remarked Sidney D. Drell, president of the American Physical Society. 'We always have to challenge our beliefs experimentally, and to be able to hold one or two atoms and see the transitions - that's an experimental tour de force.'
Like other catchwords exported from science into plain English, 'quantum jump' has acquired a second meaning, usually denoting a leap that is big. To scientists, quantum jumps are tiny but indivisible and sudden - an atom can shimmy and wiggle at one energy level or another, but not in between.
Bohr found quantum jumps to be necessary in making a workable model of the atom. The idea was unpleasantly unlike the physics of everyday experience. But physicists in the 1920's and 1930's found that they could make use of it without necessarily believing in its physical reality.
'The atom is in one state and moves to another, and you can't picture what it is in between, so you call this a quantum jump,' said the Columbia physicist I. I. Rabi, one of the original contributors to the theory. 'In quantum mechanics, you don't ask what's the intermediate state because there ain't no intermediate state. It passes from one to the other in God's mysterious way.'
Once the idea of indivisible quantities entered physics, it spread rapidly. The discreteness of quantum jumps proved to be linked intimately to the discreteness of radiated energy such as light, which turned out to behave not so much as waves but as particles - quanta. Interplay of Light and Atoms
Thus, quantum jumps are part of nature's constant interplay of light and atoms. When an atom absorbs a particle of light, a photon, the atom's energy rises to a new level. When the atom drops back to a lower energy level, it emits a photon.
Bohr adapted the basic idea of discrete jumps from Max Planck, who discovered in 1900 that he had to use indivisible quantities to account for the sharply defined frequencies of light radiated by hot substances.
For Bohr, the notion of indivisible energy levels helped explain, among other things, why electrons in the atom did not simply give off all their energy and spiral into the nucleus. The notion worked, and it continued to work even after physicists discarded other guesses Bohr made about what atoms might be like.
'The idea of this indivisibility of the quantum, that you can't take half a jump, gained in importance, but Bohr never believed these models literally,' said John L. Heilbron, a historian of science at the University of California at Berkeley. 'Some of his disciples took them much more seriously.' A Single Atom 'Almost at Rest'
In any event, such a thing could never be seen in ordinary matter, ensembles of uncountably many atoms, each bouncing continually from one energy level to another. Only in the last decade have scientists developed the atom-trapping techniques, opening the way to experiments that were inconceivable before.
'When you cool atoms so much, it gives rise to the possibility of investigating not only a single particle but a particle that is almost at rest,' said Peter E. Toschek, a member of the team at the University of Hamburg. 'You ask yourself, what can you do with a single atom that you cannot do with a big ensemble of atoms.'
But even when a single atom can be isolated, detecting quantum jumps remains tricky. Experimenters run up against some of the other nasty and paradoxical features of modern physics. For one thing, it is impossible to measure a quantum state without disturbing it, a feature of what has come to be called the uncertainty principle.
So a year ago, when Richard J. Cook and H. Jeffrey Kimble first publicly suggested the possibility of detecting quantum jumps, they set off a debate among theorists. Some felt that the actual switching from one energy level to another would not be seen. Detecting the Individual States
Quantum theory tends to deal only with the probabilities of subatomic events. The theory cannot say when an atom will emit a photon; it can only say how many photons are likely to be emitted within a given time. So theorists, presented with an atom moving rapidly back and forth between two states, often think of it as if it were in a combination of the two states, a 'superposition' of states.

'There was much hullaballo about all that,' said Claude Cohen-Tannoudji, a French theorist. But the new experiments have found a way of detecting the individual states and the jumps between them, using a scheme first proposed in 1975 by a University of Washington physicist, Hans Dehmelt.
The idea was to create a system with three possible energy levels, choosing a type of atom that could be pushed from its lowest 'ground state' to one of two higher energy levels. Two of the experiments used an ion, or electrically charged atom, of barium and one used mercury.
Excited by light, such an atom will jump to one or the other of the upper levels, absorbing one photon. Then, a short time later, it spontaneously emits a photon and returns to the ground state. Which level the atom jumps to depends on the type of light it happens to absorb. Bombardment With Photons
The key to the scheme is that the average time the atom waits before jumping back down to the ground state is drastically different for the two upper levels.
At one of the levels, the wait is extremely short. So when the atom is bathed in light, bombarded with photons, it jumps up and down 100 million times a second. Since each downward jump gives off a photon, the atom becomes fluorescent, shining with a visible brightness. The jumps, though, cannot be distinguished because they come so rapidly. The shining appears steady.
The other level trades brightness for much longer, and therefore perceptible, intervals between jumps. It is many times more stable - a barium ion that has jumped up to this state will wait, on average, more than 30 seconds before returning to the ground state and emitting its photon.
This lone photon cannot be detected. But the experimenter can tell when the atom has made the second kind of jump, because then it is no longer available to make the faster kind. To the observer, the shining light blinks off. Then, when the atom returns to the ground state, it can begin fluorescing again and it blinks back on. 'Each Blink Is a Quantum Jump'
The University of Washington team - Warren Nagourney, Jon Sandberg and Dr. Dehmelt - made a microscope out of a Nikon camera lens and an eyepiece to watch the transitions. The atom looked like a faint blue-white star.
'You have to hold yourself steady and look for minutes at a time, and then you'll see it switch,' said Dr. Nagourney. 'You see the trapped ion blinking on and off, and each blink is a quantum jump. It's a striking illustration that things occur discontinuously in nature.'

'When we first embarked on this, we really thought we were without any competitors,' Dr. Bergquist said. 'Anyway, these are very beautiful experiments - the fluorescence just turns off, you can see it by eye and there isn't any ambiguity about it.'
