Quantum technologies will be of great importance in the near future incomputing and cryptography techniques and information handling. This makes it interesting for the general population to acquire a minimum familiarity with its most fascinating aspects. All the material in this workshop has been made in open code by university students of the Faculty of Physics of the University of Barcelona.
The workshop consists of computer simulations of several experiments in which the quantum properties of matter are revealed. For example, the simulation of the movement of a set of ultra-cold atoms trapped in a potential well (analogous with the movement of a pendulum), the simulation of the movement of a soliton of anatomic gas at 0 K, and the simulation of a quantum Newton pendulum.
Bojos per la ciència
The Physics course of the program "Bojos per la ciència" of the Fundació Catalunya La Pedrera is a course developed jointly by the Institute of High Energy Physics (IFAE) (link is external) and the Catalan Institute of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (ICN2 ) (link is external) aimed at high school students with special interest and talent for physics. The basic objective of this course is to promote the scientific vocation of these young people, and especially their enthusiasm for physics. In some sessions, students can find ideas and proposals for their Baccalaureate Research Work, which will be carried out, where appropriate, with the support of the teaching staff of the course.
The course will be held for 16 Saturdays from January 18, 2020 to November 29, 2020 in spaces of different Catalan research centers in physics.
The inscriptions to the course of Crazy for physics will be open from September 16 to October 24, 2019 and among all the registrants will be selected 25 students of 1st of baccalaureate who will participate in this edition of the course in the 8th edition of the program Crazy for science that will take place by 2020.

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.
Projecte
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
