Interesting quantum-mechanical web sites for Physics 153

• A Richard Feynman Page
• Friends of Tuva
• Stern-Gerlach experiments. View some images and movies of Stern-Gerlach experiments. These are more complicated than what we discuss in class.
• Simulated two-slit experiment Try the number of points equal to 50, and click many times to see the pattern develop. Then try it with 5000 to see the full pattern clearly. Do not worry if you don't understand any of the explanations given below in the page.
• John Gribbin's discussions on quantum mysteries. Read some philosophical discussions about many different issues dealing with quantum mechanics.
• There's plenty of room at the bottom, by Richard Feynman.
• Magnetic Resonance Imaging
  • Varian
  • Magnetic Resonance Imaging
