This book provides an elementary introduction to the basics of error correction and quantum cryptography. Suitable for upper-level undergraduates in mathematics, physics and computer science, this book is unusual amongst undergraduate texts on coding or cryptography in that it includes quantum physics and the emerging technology of quantum information. It is self-contained, providing students w...

This is an introduction to spacetime algebra (STA) as a unified mathematical language for physics. STA simplifies, extends and integrates the mathematical methods of classical, relativistic and quantum physics while elucidating geometric structure of the theory. For example, STA provides a single, matrixfree spinor method for rotational dynamics with applications from classical rigid body mecha...

The mathematical formalisms for classical and quantum physics look nothing alike. This is surely one reason why physics students find it difficult to learn quantum mechanics. It is surely also one of the reasons why QM fascinates philosophers — because its formalism seems to resist comparison with the formalism of classical physics. Our goal: We want to overcome this situation of apparent Kuhni...

The study reported in this paper is a survey (nˆ 236) that examines how upper secondary students (18–19 years old) in Norway come to terms with the wave-particle duality as presented as part of a short introduction to quantum physics. The main conclusion is that this concept is poorly understood. Some students demonstrate clear and explicitly formulated misconceptions rooted in a classical phys...

In this paper, we show how the GHZ paradox can be used to design a computing device that cannot be physically implemented within the context of classical physics, but nonetheless can be within quantum physics, i.e., in a quantum physics laboratory. This example gives an illustration of the many subtleties involved in the quantum control of distributed quantum systems. We also show how the secon...
