Quantum science explores the fascinating world of electrons, atoms, and molecules. It includes important concepts like wave-particle duality and entanglement, which develop into many path-breaking technologies such as quantum computing and superconductors.

In this workshop, some hands-on superconductivity demonstrations will be provided and their potential applications will be discussed. Students will get the opportunity to try out experiments like quantum levitation, which are used in high-speed trains such as the Maglev train in Shanghai.

Objectives:

By completing the workshop, participants will be able to:

1. Gain the concepts of Quantum mechanics with a hands-on demo kit;
2. Complete superconductivity and quantum levitation experiment;
3. Identify the electrical resistance of a superconductor;
4. Learn relationship of the magnetic forces between the superconductor and magnets; and
5. Distinguish between the Meissner effect and Flux pinning.
