Past Classes(Clicking a class title will bring you to the course's section of the corresponding course catalog)S4996: Thinking Small: Intro to Quantum Mechanics in Splash Fall 2024 (Nov. 09, 2024)
Have you ever wondered what the world would look like if you just kept zooming in? What if I told you that on a really tiny scale, objects behave as both a particle and a wave? It sounds crazy, but these are the discoveries of the field of quantum mechanics! Quantum mechanics is the study of extremely small objects and how they construct the world around us. It is a fascinating and challenging field of physics with applications in many other sciences. In this class, we will get a little taste of the concepts of quantum mechanics by exploring the behavior of electrons in atoms. No background knowledge of physics or chemistry is required!
