DAY-2 QUANTUM LEARNING:- 

Quantum Physics for 7 Year Olds | Dominic Walliman | TEDxEastVan:-

The speaker, Dominic Walliman, discusses the challenge of understanding complex topics when people explain them in a confusing way.

He emphasizes the importance of effective science communication and encourages people to ask questions and seek clarity.

Dominic Walliman is a scientist specializing in quantum physics, and he believes that science communication is vital for the public to understand and appreciate scientific research.

He briefly explains some fascinating concepts in quantum physics, such as particle-wave duality, quantum tunneling, and superposition.

Walliman shares four principles for good science communication: starting from the audience's level of knowledge, avoiding overwhelming details, prioritizing clarity over technical accuracy, and expressing enthusiasm for the subject to make it more relatable and interesting.

If You Don't Understand Quantum Physics, Try This!

Quantum physics is often seen as complex, but it is one of the most successful scientific theories, leading to technologies like computers, digital cameras, and lasers.

Quantum physics deals with the behavior of tiny particles like electrons, which don't follow classical physics rules and are described as wave-functions.

Measurement in quantum physics collapses the wave-function, leading to the measurement problem, where the transition from waves to particles is unexplained.

Quantum phenomena include superposition (objects in multiple states at once) entanglement (linked particles over long distances), quantum tunneling (particles passing through barriers), and the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle (limitations in knowing both position and momentum).

The term "quantum" originates from the quantization of energy levels in atomic spectra, where light emission occurs in discrete packets of energy.

IMPORTANT:- 

Superposition: Imagine you have a magical coin that can be both heads and tails at the same time until you look at it. That's a bit like superposition in quantum physics. It means tiny particles can exist in multiple states simultaneously until observed.

Entanglement: Think of two magical dice that are connected in such a way that if you roll one and it shows a 6, the other one instantly shows a 6, no matter how far apart they are. Entanglement is like a mysterious connection between particles where the state of one instantly affects the state of another, even if they're far apart.

Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle: Imagine you're trying to simultaneously measure the exact speed of a car and its precise location on a road. The more accurately you measure one, the less accurately you can measure the other. The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle is a rule in quantum physics that says you can't know both the exact position and exact momentum (speed and direction) of a tiny particle at the same time. It's a fundamental limit in our ability to measure things on a very small scale.

Quantum Tunneling: Imagine you have a solid wall in front of you, and you want to get to the other side, but you don't have the energy to climb over it or break through it. In our everyday world, you'd be stuck. But in the quantum world, there's a tiny chance that you can magically "tunnel" through the wall without physically breaking it or going over it. Quantum tunneling is when tiny particles, like electrons, can pass through barriers or obstacles that classical physics would say are impossible to go through. It's as if they can sneak through the wall, even though they shouldn't be able to according to our usual understanding of physics. This phenomenon is responsible for some important processes, like how the Sun shines and how certain types of microelectronics work.

How to become a quantum physicist in five minutes | Jacob Sherson | TEDxAarhus

Jacob Sherson shares his journey from childhood curiosity to becoming a quantum physicist.

He introduces a computer game that allows people, even those with no formal physics training, to solve quantum research challenges.

Quantum physics deals with the smallest units of matter, such as atoms, and involves concepts like quantum superposition and quantum tunneling.

The game he created helps players develop a "quantum intuition" that can lead to innovative problem-solving.

Citizen science, like the quantum game, demonstrates the power of human intuition and innovation in contributing to scientific discoveries that even supercomputers can't achieve.
