Quantum 101
Welcome to the forefront of quantum mechanics, the realm where the laws of physics redefine themselves at the smallest scales imaginable. Quantum mechanics provides us with a profound understanding of the behaviors of atoms and molecules, challenging our conventional perceptions of nature with its precision and the unexpected phenomena it predicts.
As researchers delve deeper into this fascinating domain, they are uncovering ways to harness and manipulate these quantum behaviors, propelling the field forward and paving the way for groundbreaking applications. Explore the fundamentals of quantum mechanics and discover how this revolutionary science is shaping the technologies of tomorrow.
Teacher resources
Bring quantum to your classroom with ready-made lesson plans and activities. Introduced at Quantum for Educators, these lesson plans have been developed for high-school classrooms by quantum experts from IQC with feedback from experienced educators.
Topics covered include superposition, quantum measurement, quantum communication, quantum computing, wave-particle duality and the uncertainty principle.
Entangled: The series
Bring your curiosity and be prepared for an unexpected take on how quantum is a part of our world. Entangled: The series links surprising subjects that may feel separated by distance, but are actually strongly correlated. We’re exploring the intersection of current ground-breaking quantum information science and technology research and a range of contemporary topics. Learn about unexpected quantum connections, such as music, logic, literature, opportunity, pop culture and film.
