Getting experience in physics while still in school If you're still in high school, you can check out IQC'sQuantum School for Young Students, a free,two-week summer programheld at the University of Waterloo. Students will live on residence and learn all about the basics of qua...
Dr. Laflamme and I at the Perimeter Institute on my last day in Waterloo. Midway through the summer, Dr. Laflamme’s former and current students celebrated his 60th birthday with a birthday conference. As one of his newest students, I had a wonderful time meeting many of his past students ...
The discussion below is part of a talk I gave at the International Summer School for Young Physicists held at thePerimeter Institutein Waterloo, Canada. The talk was intended for some very smart high-school students, but most of the discussion below should be accessible to a wide audience. On...
Advice for people currently training in this field Quantum science is a field of the future, so it is essential to understand it in depth.-Having a strong foundation in physics and mathematics is highly versatile and useful. Students should aim for a broad understanding of quantum technologies,...
open to deep conversations and self-evaluation—what one might expect of Dartmouth. At Caltech, I found grad students to be candid, generous, and open-hearted. Would you have expected as much from the tech school’s tech school—the distilled essence of the purification of concentrated Science...
High-school level physics enables us to predict its motion until the end of time using simple equations for energy and momentum conservation, as long as you know the initial conditions … Continue reading → Posted in Uncategorized | Tagged noncommutation, Quantum mechanics, quantum thermodynamics |...
A high school biology teacher also noted time constraints as a concern and then added, “I don’t have a clear grasp of what my students should get out of me introducing quantum concepts to them. Are quantum concepts the vehicle, or are they the destination?”. These teachers’ responses ...
