Quantum Club Events
The semester and year the Quantum Club was created at Michigan.
When is Fall 2023?
The Heisenberg Uncertainty principle states that the __ and __ of an electron cannot be known simultaneously.
What are position and momentum?
A cat that endlessly pursuits a clever mouse.
Who is Tom?
The number of Nobel Prizes in Physics that Albert Einstein won.
What is one? (His work on the photoelectric effect)
Ant-Man and the Wasp find themselves exploring the Quantum Realm, interacting with strange new creatures and embarking on an adventure that pushes them beyond the limits of what they thought was possible.
What is Ant Man and the Wasp: Quantumania?
This software is used for programming quantum computers. We did a student-led seminar on it Fall 2023, and this is the software we will be using for the IBM sponsored Hackathon in October this semester.
What is qiskit?
Principle that states two or more identical particles with half-integer spins cannot simultaneously occupy the same quantum state within a system that obeys the laws of quantum mechanics.
What is the Pauli Exclusion Principle?
The story begins with a pair of siblings, a boy and a girl, who are bored and home alone on a stormy day. A tall humanoid cat sporting a bow tie and a red-and-white-striped stovepipe hat appears and promises to teach the dumbfounded children some tricks and games.
Who is the Cat in the Hat?
The scientist that discovered the atomic nucleus.
Who is Ernest Rutherford?
During World War II, a physicist is appointed to work on a top secret project. Their work comes to fruition on July 16, 1945, as they witness the world's first nuclear explosion, forever changing the course of history.
What is Oppenheimer?
The building we did the UMich quantum lab tours last semester.
What is Randall?
The values the spin quantum number can have.
What are +1/2 and -1/2?
A lazy, fat, cynical and self-absorbed orange tabby Persian cat. He is noted for his love of lasagna and pizza, coffee, and sleeping, and his hatred of Mondays, Nermal, the vet, and exercise.
Who is Garfield?
Scientist that discovered electrons.
Who is J.J. Thompson?
In Earth's future, a global crop blight and second Dust Bowl are slowly rendering the planet uninhabitable. Professor Brand (Michael Caine), a brilliant NASA physicist, is working on plans to save mankind by transporting Earth's population to a new home via a wormhole. But first, Brand must send former NASA pilot Cooper (Matthew McConaughey) and a team of researchers through the wormhole and across the galaxy to find out which of three planets could be mankind's new home.
What is Interstellar?
The first speaker in our speaker series who is a professor in ECE at UMich and researches quantum networks, quantum sensing, and quantum materials.
Who is Dr. Zheshen Zhang?
A multidisciplinary field comprising aspects of computer science, physics, and mathematics that utilizes quantum mechanics to solve complex problems faster than on classical computers.
What is Quantum Computing?
A mischievous cat who takes pleasure in misdirecting Alice. He is able to dislocate his head from his body, but is also capable of invisibility, and frequently enters and exits the scene with all parts faded away except for his grin or eyes.
Who is the Cheshire Cat?
Known to be the father of quantum physics.
Who is Max Planck?
Adam Reed (Ryan Reynold), a time traveler from the year 2050 returns to 2022 and meets his 12-year-old self. Adam’s dad, Louis (Mark Ruffalo), is a quantum physicist and a professor who created a large magnetic particle accelerator.
Accelerators use energy to speed up beams of particles and powerful magnets to direct and focus the particles.
What is the Adam Project?
We did a lunch and presentation with Quantum and Photonic Engineering Professor Jennifer Choy from this Big 10 University last semester.
What is the University of Wisconsin?
A partial differential equation that governs the wave function of a quantum-mechanical system.
What is the Schrodinger Equation?
A famous thought experiment that demonstrates the idea in quantum physics that tiny particles can be in two states at once until they're observed.
What is Schrodinger's Cats?
The name of the co-directors who launched the Quantum Research Institute at the University of Michigan last summer in 2023.
Who are Steven Cundiff and Mack Kira?
In the 1960s, Cambridge University student and future physicist Stephen Hawking (Eddie Redmayne) falls in love with fellow collegian Jane Wilde (Felicity Jones). At 21, Hawking learns that he has motor neuron disease. Despite this -- and with Jane at his side -- he begins an ambitious study of time, of which he has very little left, according to his doctor. He and Jane defy terrible odds and break new ground in the fields of medicine and science, achieving more than either could hope to imagine.
What is the Theory of Everything?
