Quantum Physics Assignment
Assignment: Connection between quantum physics and modern technology
The goal of this assignment is to explore the importance of quantum physics in everyday technology and emerging technologies.
You are tasked to write a paper where you choose one specific topic in quantum physics, and one specific topic in modern technology, and explore the connection between them.
Regarding the topic in quantum physics: You are recommended to choose a subject that we cover in our syllabus. Some examples are the wave nature of the electron, the particle nature of light, Compton scattering, blackbody radiation, quantization of energy in atoms, Schrodinger equation.
Regarding the topic in modern technology: Examples include the internet, global positioning system (GPS), X-ray generation, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), quantum computing.
More details on the requirements of the paper:
1. Recommended minimum of 5 pages
2. In preparing your paper, you are expected to consult authoritative references (peer- reviewed journal articles, textbooks, white papers etc.) and cite them in your bibliography. A very useful resource is Google Scholar (https://scholar.google.com/) as well as the NTU Library.
3. Times New Roman, font size 12, single-spaced, 1 inch margins on all sides. Other formatting details should adhere to the IEEE editorial style. manual

4. Any use of figures or diagrams that do not belong to you, or that were not created by you, must be properly credited.
5. Indicate your full name (as it appears on your student ID), your matriculation number, and your tutorial group at the start of your paper.
6. Submit your paper in pdf form electronically on NTULearn (TEL website) before the deadline of 19 July 2024, 23:59. You are also required to submit a TurnItIn originality report, without which your submission cannot be considered.
7. We will pursue additional procedures to detect plagiarism and use of software like ChatGPT to create portions of the paper. Any detected instance will be immediately referred to the university for disciplinary action.
