Course Objective

1. To learn the basic ideas of quantum mechanics with a method that requires no complicated math.
2. Come to understand what a quantum particle is in the world of the ultrasmall.
3. To become aware of the truth that much of what you have learned about the quantum world is either incomplete or wrong.
4. To explore the dual particle and wave nature of light, which we call a quantum particle.
5. To discovered what spin is and how it is manipulated by magnets.
6. To learn basic concept of spin, how quantum particles can be entangled, and how Einstein's hidden theory cannot be correct.
7. To be able to describe in detail what happens to an effective magnet that moves through an inhomogeneous magnetic field.
8. To be able to describe the details of a classical Stern-Gerlach experiment run with magnetic needles or current loops.
9. To Learn the basics of probability theory.
10. To calculate probability in quantum world following its basic definition.
11. To compute probabilities for quantum events with spin.
12. To explain what the quantum mystery is.
13. To apply quantum ideas to understand partial reflection of light, interaction-free measurements, and particle indistinguishability.
14. To look at how, using quantum interference, we can measure the presence of an object without interacting with it, also known as "quantum seeing in the dark."
