Open to all

The second meeting of the "Tales of Italian Science in the World" travels to the frontier between quantum physics and cosmology, where the limits of the two great pillars of modern physics are measured: general relativity and quantum mechanics. But the infinitely large and the infinitely small can also be touched.


pòster This is where quantum cosmology was born, the attempt of theoretical physics to develop a quantum theory of the universe that manages to explain above all the famous "first three minutes" of the life of the universe, when the most important things happened. 

In collaboration with: ICCUB and IFAE.

ADMIRA Project: Activities with Medipix Detectors to Research Radiation in the Classroom

The ADMIRA Project (Activities with Medipix Detectors to Investigate Radiation in the classroom) aims to create a network of schools around the use of Timepix Detectors designed at CERN. The objective is to bring the Institutes closer to the research done in Universities and Research Centers. A group of schools that have participated in a selection process will use these devices in their classrooms. Teacher training activities will be open to any institute teacher who is interested (with the aim of expanding the network in future editions).

On this website you can consult the objectives of the ADMIRA project, the ways of participating and the activities offered for teachers and students. You can also find the didactic orientations, skills and key contents that are intended to work.

Simulations of Quantum Mechanics

Simulations of Quantum Mechanics starts as a collaborative project involving undergraduate students, professors and researchers. It is based on the development of computer programs, created by students under the supervision of professors, which allow introducing basic concepts of quantum mechanics and the physics of ultracold gases to the students of baccalaureate and degree. The programs carried out aim to be rigorous from the scientific point of view, solving the relevant equations in a precise manner, combined with a graphical interface that allows users to interact with them in a pleasant way.

OBJECTIVES:
Encourage cooperation among seniors of degree  
Bring seniors in the research that takes place in our department
Produce a useful tool for the dissemination of science at the high school level
