We offer the following services for high school and university students. Professionals and the general public can also contact us to discuss the possibilities.

 

 

1. Online group quantum lecture series and individual quantum research project for high school or undergraduate students

 

Participate in a short course of interesting lectures on quantum physics at an introductory level in a small group. 

  • Taught by an expert quantum physics researcher and mentor with a lot of experience in the University of Cambridge. The lecturer has ample research experience in the taught topics. For this reason, he can provide modern insights about some of the most interesting properties and biggest open problems in quantum physics. The lecturer has also ample experience in teaching and mentoring students at various levels: international high school, and university students in the University of Cambridge at undergrad, master and PhD levels.
  • Reasonable prices. Enrolling in this program organized directly by the mentor/lecturer, you will save considerable money, while at the same time receiving efficient mentorship of a top quality.
  • Research project and paper. The program includes mentorship in a research project on a topic chosen by the student that relates to the taught material. This can be very helpful to acquire elementary research skills and experience. A paper (or draft paper) can be obtained by the end of the program that the student can submit to a good high school journal.
  • Helpful for University applications. The participation in the program and the research experience can be helpful to support the student's applications to University. A reference letter to support the student's applications with input on their participation in the program can be provided upon reasonable request.
  • Obtain a signed report on your progress after the end of the program.
  • Delivered online in a small group. Participation in the program is online and can be from anywhere in the world. The lectures will be provided in a small group of five or less students. This allows for efficient student participation and guiding by the mentor.
  • Delivered in English. It is possible to arrange it in Spanish or French depending on the students enroled.
  • Introductory level. Emphasis is given on the main physical ideas circumventing the mathematical difficulties of quantum physics. In this way, the course is suitable to high school students or undergraduate students with a curious mind, without the need of the formal mathematical machinery used in quantum physics.
  • Suitable to your level. This program is mainly designed for high school students and undergraduate students. If you are a graduate student, a professional or from the general public, and are interested in a course in quantum physics, please rech out to us to discuss the possibilities.
  • Access to recordings of lectures and many other useful resources.
  • Major and modern open problems. Big open problems in quantum physics are highlighted. Modern research approaches to these problems are discussed. For example, we will discuss Bell's theorem and important loopholes that remain in the most advanced Bell experiments, recent ground-breaking experimental proposals to test whether gravity has quantum properties, etc.
  • Interesting content. The lectures are designed to highlight some of the most interesting concepts in quantum physics, for example: 
    • Quantum interference. The double slit experiment and generalizations shake our basic intuitions about the world.
    • Quantum superposition. This is a fundamental property of quantum physics. For example, electrons are in a superposition of locations around the nucleus of an atom, photons can have polarization states in superposition, Schrödinger's cat can in principle be in a superposition state of 'dead' and 'alive', etc.
    • Quantum entanglement. Quantum particles at distant locations exhibit instant correlations via quantum entanglement.
    • Quantum teleportation. A fundamental property of quantum information is that it can be teleported to distant locations via pre-distributed quantum entanglement.
    • Bell's theorem and quantum non-local causality. Quantum non-local causality is one of the most striking features of quantum physics, contradicting the intuitions of relativity theory (stating that nothing can travel faster than light). Bell's theorem is one of the most celebrated results in quantum foundations, recognized with the Nobel prize in physics in 2022 (https://www.nobelprize.org/prizes/physics/2022/summary/). However, important loopholes remain even in the most advanced Bell experiments, as we will discuss in the lectures.
    • Experimental proposals to test whether gravity has quantum properties. Perhaps the most important open problem in physics is to unify gravity and quantum physics. In particular, it is a very important open question to experimentally test whether gravity has any quantum properties. Recently, ground-breaking research papers have proposed experiments that could test this in the near future (https://physics.aps.org/articles/v10/s138), as we will discuss.
  • Group course and individual mentoring sessions. The program is divided in two parts.
    • Part I: Group course. The first part comprises 8 weekly lectures of group course by the mentor with 8 supporting supervisions to clarify and expand the material of the lectures as well as to go through any assignments given during lectures. In this part, the mentor (helped by a supervisor) will teach the subject of the course and direct the start of an individual research project for each student in the class.
    • Part II: Individual research project mentoring. The second part is optional and last 3-6 weeks. This comprises 3 individual sessions where each student will receive personalized mentoring to advance and complete a research project and research paper.
  • If you include Part II in your program, you will receive guiance on:
    • writing a research paper with feedback on drafts;
    • submitting a research paper to a conference and/or journal according to your level, for example, high school, undergraduate or graduate journal.
    • Work on a research project within your preferred area of quantum physics, for example, quantum mechanics, quantum computing, quantum information, quantum cryptography, quantum foundations, connections between spacetime/gravity and quantum physics.
  • The prices are reasonable and depend on whether the student enrols in both parts or only the first part (group course).

 

2. Individual mentorship in a quantum research project

 

Conduct a research project in quantum physics led online by a Cambridge quantum PhD, experienced researcher and mentor. 

  • Led by an expert quantum physics researcher and mentor with a lot of experience in the University of Cambridge. The mentor has ample research experience in various topics in quantum physics, including quantum information, quantum cryptography, quantum foundations, relationships between gravity and quantum physics, etc. For this reason, he can provide modern insights about some of the most interesting properties and biggest open problems in quantum physics. The mentor has also ample experience in teaching and mentoring students at various levels: high school, undergrad, master and PhD.
  • Delivered online from anywhere around the world with flexible schedules.
  • Delivered in English (can also be in Spanish or French).

    3. Guidance on self-learning in quantum physics (or other subjects in physics)

     

    Do you like to study quantum physics on your own, maybe reading books and studying online resources, but you find it too challenging or you feel a bit lost? You can complent your self-study with my guidance. I can answer questions you might have and help you to follow a study program. This can be quite flexible according tou your schedules and goals. It can be one-to-one or in a small group of students with similar interests and levels, accoridng to your preference.

    4. Other forms of mentoring in quantum physics (or other subjects in physics)

     

    Other forms of mentoring are possible too; for example, help to follow your school (university) lectures, guidance to prepare for exams, competitions, science fairs, physics olympiads, etc. This can also be organised one-to-one or in a small grup of students with similar interests and goals, according to your preference.
