Quantum Objects
|
Explore the bizarre behavior of quantum objects and the impact they have on modern technology.
Course description
The principles of quantum mechanics came from investigating microscopic phenomena; the bizarre behavior of quantum objects like atoms and elementary particles that often appear to contradict classical mechanics and probability.
In this course you’ll explore experiments of quantum objects and use them to construct new equations of motion, new laws of physics, and a new system of measurement based not on numbers, but on algebras. By the end, you’ll gain a new appreciation for how the physics of the small enables lasers, transistors and other modern technologies that define our world. Then you’ll be ready to dive into the ongoing revolution of quantum information and computing.
