Quantum Information Science (QIS) and applied technologies such as quantum computing and quantum communication are emerging technologies deemed critical to the future technical workforce and economy [1] . Generally, the concepts of QIS are outside the contents of study in most high school physics classes, however, recent progress has been made in developing high school accessible curricula. ...
The analytical solution to the simple harmonic oscillator requires a knowledge of calculus (even worse differential equation), so how does one teach it at the College Physics level where students only know algebra? In this talk I will present an iterative approach that is accessible to algebra-level students. This method can be implemented quickly in Excel. The iterative solution will be...
Albert Einstein and Neils Bohr held a friendly debate for years on the nature of physical reality. Bohr, true to quantum theory (QT), swore that reality only existed after one "observed" the latter. Einstein believed the QT to be incomplete and that reality existed independent of our observation, because of some "hidden variables", which, if discovered, could remove the probabilistic nature...
