The Quantum Society
“Exploring the smallest mysteries, shaping the biggest ideas.”
Dive into the strange and exciting world of quantum mechanics—where particles defy logic, mysteries spark curiosity, and future technologies are born.
What is Quantum Mechanics?
Quantum mechanics is the branch of physics that describes the behavior of particles at the smallest scales—like atoms, electrons, and photons. Unlike classical physics, which explains most everyday experiences, quantum mechanics reveals a world that behaves in strange and surprising ways.
Superposition
A quantum particle can exist in multiple states at once until it’s measured.
Entanglement
Particles can become connected so that the state of one instantly influences the other, even across large distances.
Uncertainty Principle
It’s impossible to know both the position and momentum of a particle with perfect accuracy.
Wave-Particle Duality
Particles like electrons behave both like particles and like waves, depending on how they’re observed.
Events
Stay engaged with hands-on activities, speaker sessions, and collaborative learning!
Quantum Encryption Algorithms: Dr. Gorjan Alagic Guest Speaker
We are honored to host Dr. Gorjan Alagic, a professor and researcher at the University of Maryland College Park and The Joint Center for Quantum Information and Computer Science. We went over several concepts including the One-time Pad, Diffie-Hellman Key Exchange, and Quantum Key Distribution.
Applications of Quantum Computing: Dr. Mark Jackson Guest Speaker
Reached 250+ audience members!
Invited Dr. Mark Jackson, the Senior Quantum Evangelist from Quantinuum.
Building a Quantum Random Number Generator
By using a laser, beam splitter, and a couple photoresistors, we created several functional random number generators.
Competitions
Our club actively participates in local, national, and global quantum computing competitions. These events challenge students to apply theoretical knowledge to real-world quantum problems.
