Build an intuitive understanding of the principles behind quantum
mechanics through practical construction and replication of
original experiments
With easy-to-acquire, low-cost materials and basic knowledge of
algebra and trigonometry, "Exploring Quantum Physics through
Hands-on Projects" takes readers step by step through the process
of re-creating scientific experiments that played an essential role
in the creation and development of quantum mechanics.
Presented in near chronological order--from discoveries of the
early twentieth century to new material on entanglement--this book
includes question- and experiment-filled chapters on: Light as a
WaveLight as ParticlesAtoms and RadioactivityThe Principle of
Quantum PhysicsWave/Particle DualityThe Uncertainty
PrincipleSchrodinger (and his Zombie Cat)Entanglement
From simple measurements of Planck's constant to testing
violations of Bell's inequalities using entangled photons,
"Exploring Quantum Physics through Hands-on Projects" not only
immerses readers in the process of quantum mechanics, it provides
insight into the history of the field--how the theories and
discoveries apply to our world not only today, but also
tomorrow.
By immersing readers in groundbreaking experiments that can be
performed at home, school, or in the lab, this first-ever, hands-on
book successfully demystifies the world of quantum physics for all
who seek to explore it--from science enthusiasts and undergrad
physics students to practicing physicists and engineers.
