Quantum Mechanics is
HARD
An Overview

Quantum Mechanics
Lab!
Quantum Mechanics is
BIG But we’ll focus on a small piece
Let’s Start With Something simple
Where is Mr. Hall?
Sum over Histories
Again, Quantum Mechanics is
Weird But,
It makes useful predictions about our world
Protein Folding
By combining quantum and classical physics,Levitt’s and Warshel’s Model dramatically sped up the
calculations, while still remaining accurate
O(N3) O(N2)
Lysozomine:

LAB!!! But first, just a little more background
Procedure
1. Shine laser at blank surface, postulate what spliBng the beam will do
2. Glue a wire to the laser, bisecEng it in half 3. Measure spacing of bands 4. Determine the wavelength of the laser, using
the formula w=z*lambda/d
How this ties in
