Imagine a world where you can monitor the movement of magma within the Earth’s crust, peer around the corner without moving, and detect initial signs of degenerative disease. Welcome to the quantum world! This course will introduce you to the weird and wondrous quantum world and quantum sensing, a technology that is transforming our world. The quantum world is comprised of the smallest bits of subatomic matter and exhibits behaviors that are sometimes strange and mysterious. During these four sessions, you’ll join Applied Physics Laboratory Senior Scientist John Abraham as he leads you through the world of qubits, protons, and wavicles.
