Discovering the Quantum: hobby projects reveal quantum mysteries

by Trevelyan

Modern electronics brings key experiments from the history of quantum mechanics within reach of the keen hobbyist, the science teacher, and the project group in a high school physics lab. This book details practical projects which demonstrate the wave-particle duality of light, energy quanta, particle spin, quantum tunneling and the quantum eraser. From these principles, the theory is developed, retracing the history of the various discoveries and insights, leading up to the present moment, where we stand at the dawn of the quantum computing era.
