An eighteen-year-old student from Los Angeles, identified as Rachel Chen, has developed a concrete, visual way to describe quantum physics systems for her Regeneron Science Talent Search mathematics project, according to Society for Science. She also won $100,000 at the Regeneron Science Talent Search for expanding a 1997 mathematical idea involving Temperley-Lieb diagrams. Rachel Chen took decades-old mathematical idea and expanded it into a visual framework for understanding complex quantum systems.
