Resources
This item is one of over 25,000 physical resources available from the Resources Collection. The Archive Collection covers over 50 years of curriculum development in the STEM subjects. The Contemporary Collection includes all the latest publications from UK educational publishers.
From quarks to computing, this fascinating introduction covers every element of the quantum world in clear and accessible language. Drawing on a wealth of expertise to explain just what a fascinating field quantum physics is, Rae points out that it is not simply a maze of technical jargon and philosophical ideas,...
Quantum quirks
Scientists at The University of Oxford are utilising the quantum quirks of light to study how single photons could be used to provide un-hackable data protection, quantum computers and powerful microscopes. This activity is suitable as a follow-on lesson...
Quantum Tech Student Activity Cryptography
Quantum computers will revolutionise secure communications, and will make some current encryption methods obsolete. This activity, takes in cutting-edge research at the UK Quantum Technology hubs...
Quantum Tech Student Activity GPS and Trilateration
Satellite navigation is a key technology for today’s society, allowing for global navigation on land, at sea and in the air. The technology depends upon accurate atomic clocks, which help us...
Quantum Tech Student Activity Laser Cooling
Lasers can be used to heat things up, and also to cool them down. Using carefully tuned lasers, scientists in the UK quantum technology hubs are able to slow atoms down to just a few centimetres per...
