Fogo Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 (edited) Hi everyone, I joined recently and I'd like to share some things I've written with you. I think they might be of interest to some people. This one is my final year A level report on quantum entanglement. It gives an explanation of the mathematical principles behind quantum mechanics and then goes on to talk about electron spin and the EPR experiment. It's quite possible I've made a mistake in some parts so do not hesitate to call me out on it so I can make corrections (stylistic criticism is also welcome). I certainly found the philosophical ramifications of the EPR experiment quite difficult to grasp (and hence write about). If somebody could illuminate this in a simple manner it would be much appreciated. The two most useful resources for this were undoubtedly Leonard Susskind's excellent Quantum Entanglement lecture series (which is available on iTunesU) and Paul Dirac's Principles of Quantum Mechanics (beautifully written by a true genius, highly recommended). Anyway, here's the report: QuantumEntanglement.pdf And here's the thread for the investigation I did into Joukowski Aerofoils: http://www.scienceforums.net/topic/59743-joukowski-aerofoil-investigation/ And the thread for my introduction to Carbon Nanotubes: http://www.scienceforums.net/topic/59742-an-introduction-to-carbon-nanotubes/ (Oh and I ended up getting an A* in my A level and I'll be off to study physics at university in two weeks ) Edited September 10, 2011 by Fogo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
