I shine a light through two slits and you see bands of light and dark on the screen. You are viewing the results of an experiment that lies at the heart of quantum mechanics. In this class you will get the experience and the framework you will need to appreciate what is revealed by the simple pattern you see. And you will become comfortable knowing that “In reality the experiment contains only mystery. You cannot make the mystery go away.” You will be OK with this because you will know some of the peculiarities of quantum mechanics.
New in-person course. Format includes lecture and discussion.
