Listen "5. Creating Superposition: Electron and Stern-Gerlach Experiment, and Photon "
Episode Synopsis
This episode describes the Stern-Gerlach experiment and its significance in establishing quantum mechanics. The experiment, involving the deflection of silver atoms through an inhomogeneous magnetic field, revealed the quantization of angular momentum, a key quantum phenomenon. This episode also includes a recap on photon, beam splitter, and Mach-Zehnder interferometer (as discussed in Episode 3). Also, in this episode, a brief introduction to superconducting qubit and trapped ions.
