Useful information
- Questions? Visit our Phys3220 piazza page.
- D2L: We have a page with homework and exam solns, and your personal grade information (updated around midterm times)
- Prof. McIntyre's Spin Simulator. We will use this right from the start of the term - see if you can get it running! (It's Java, which many browsers are finicky about. Google how to do it in your setup - you might have to switch browsers or run Java directly, but you can always find a workaround. Generally, it just involves properly changing the security preferences in your browser!)
- Errata for our textbook!
- Have you tried the PhET simulations ? Project PhET: Physics Education Technology (CUs collection of simulations)
- Math Physics and Engineering Applets (an impressive collection of applet/sims. Less intuitive than PheT, but cover a lot more.)
Just for fun
- Check out some fun quotes about Quantum Mechanics to get started...
- Check out this really delightful and very readable article by David Merman about "Is the moon there when nobody looks".
(I think this is where the "modern version" of the EPR/Bell exp't that we covered in class was invented.)
Mathematica Links:
- We may be using Mathematica every now and again this term. If so, please visit this page!
- We have also created some sample pages to help you learn Mathematica. Here are some example notebooks: short version and long version
- Mathematica Integrator This is an online integrator, just type in your indefinite integral (in Mathematica's syntax, of course).
By way of introduction to our course, here are some more amusing quotes about Quantum Mechanics.
