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 Wave
* Light as Particles
* Atoms and Radioactivity
* The Principle of Quantum Physics
* Wave/Particle Duality
* The Uncertainty Principle
* Schrödinger (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.
