We offer the following services for high school students

1. Lecture series and research project

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

• Taught by an experienced quantum physics researcher and mentor based at 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: high school, undergrad, master and PhD.
• Reasonable prices. By  enrolling in the program directly with the mentor/lecturer, our prices are considerably lower than what charged by companies that work as intermediaries, while at the same time providing 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.
• 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.
• 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 with a curious mind, without the need of the formal mathematical machinery used in quantum physics.
• 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.

2. One-to-one mentorship in a research project

Take a research project in quantum physics led online by an experienced quantum physics researcher and mentor. 

• Led by an experienced quantum physics researcher and mentor based at 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.
• Reasonable prices. By  enrolling in the mentorship program directly with the mentor, our prices are considerably lower than what charged by companies that work as intermediaries, while at the same time providing 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, with guidance by the mentor. The research project will be chosen wisely with the mentor's guidance to suit the student's aptitudes. 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.

• Delivered online. Participation in the program is online and can be from anywhere in the world.
