The laws that govern the motion of small objects, for example electrons
in a solid, are fundamentally different from the familiar laws that
Newton discovered. Not only are they different, but they are
often counterintuitive. One cannot know the precise location of
objects! Certain configurations are forbidden- a spinning molecule
can have some angular orientations but not others! Only restricted
sets of energy levels are allowed.
To understand modern electronics we need to master these unfamiliar
and strange laws and their consequences. This is the goal of our
cluster.
There are some technical things we need to learn along the way:
the linux operating system of the computers we will be using and
how to write programs in C. We won't assume students know too much
about these things, so we'll do a lot of simple, but interesting
warm-up programs before tackling our quantum physics projects.
