Beyond the Challenge of Challenge of Quantum Reality |
The rules of quantum physics are both very clear and extremely useful. However, they are also very
counter-intuitive. This makes the topic very attractive to students - but often unsettling to teachers.
The Perimeter Institute's free resource - The Challenge of Quantum Reality - is a great place to start
exploring these ideas. This workshop continues where that resource left off and includes recent research
from the Institute of Quantum Computing. |
Biography |
Roberta has been teaching physics in Toronto for 25 years. She is rather fanatical about modern physics and Physics Education Research and spends her spare time looking for ways to combine them to make high school physics more exciting and inviting. She has given workshops to this end around special relativity, general relativity, particle physics quantum uncertainty and entanglement. She is a consultant for the Perimeter Institute of Theoretical and the coordinator of PI’s Teacher Network. In her spare spare time she plays New Orleans jazz at Grossman’s Tavern in Toronto. |
