Nanotechnology Part 5 - Quantum Machine
Part 5 of a series of short podcasts that explores one route toward the most exotic technology ever conceived: a quantum computer. In this episode we see how we might create a device made from Quantum particles.

012 Angular Momentum and Motion in a Magnetic Field
Twelfth lecture of the Quantum Mechanics course given in Michaelmas Term 2009.
001 Introduction to Quantum Mechanics, Probability Amplitudes and Quantum States
First lecture of the Quantum Mechanics course given in Michaelmas Term 2009.
Peace and Justice: Lessons from the Field
Elizabeth Evenson's talk for the 2009 Taking Stock of Transitional Justice conference entitled; 'Peace and Justice: Lessons from the Field'
2007 Symposium presentation of the paper 'Developing Dynamics: The Field of Native American Photogra
Veronica Passalacqua, Ph.D. presents her paper 'Developing Dynamics: The Field of Native American Photography'
A Day in the Field
Assistant Curator Burton Lim describes a typical day of fieldwork in China, from preparing bat and rodent specimens to recording field notes, and of course enjoying camp meals.
A Field Trip for Applied biology: Mark-Recapture of White-footed Mice in a Local Woodlot
Mark-recapture techniques were used to determine the size of a white-footed mouse (Peromyscus leucopus) population in a woodlot in Bowling Green, Ohio. Sherman live traps were used to capture the mice, which were then marked by attaching an ear tag. Population size estimates were obtained using a Lincoln-Peterson method, and a Jolly method.
A Field Study of the Ant Trail Phenomenon
In this exercise, students place food at various distances from an ant hill or nest. Ants are then observes as they find the bait and lead other ants to it. At the completion of the exercise, students construct a graph which shows the establishment of trails, recruitment of workers, and depletion of the bait.
A Field Study of Interspecific Relationships
This exercise can be used to study population ecology, food webs and trophic levels. It is meant to give students a better understanding of the interrelatedness of organisms in a community by studying several common local relationships.
The Quantum Mechanical Universe
A last, lingering look at where we've been, and perhaps a timid glance into the future, marks the close of the series The Mechanical Universe and Beyond.
Quantum Information Processing
Quantum Information Processing aims at harnessing quantum physics to conceive and build devices that could dramatically exceed the capabilities of today's "classical" computation and communication systems. In this course, we will introduce the basic concepts of this rapidly developing field.
Winter Field Lab: Snow Hydrology
This field activity may be implemented during late winter or early spring when things have not quite thawed. Students collect their own data from a snowpack, including measuring water equivalent, identifying types of snow metamorphism, finding evidence of precipitation patterns, and judging possible snowpack hazards. Back in the lab, students evaluate their data, draw conclusions, and make a report. This activity is designed for upper-level undergraduate and graduate-level geohydrology courses.
Winter Field Lab: Pond Hydrology
This field activity may be implemented during late winter or early spring when things have not quite thawed. From a frozen pond, students collect bathymetric data, measure water temperature and conductivity, locate ground-water inputs, and extract a sediment core. Back in the lab, they make hand and computer-contoured bathymetric maps, temperature and conductivity cross-sections, and run visual-core log, loss-on-ignition, and magnetic susceptibility tests. Then they draw conclusions about water
Computational Quantum Mechanics of Molecular and Extended Systems, Fall 2004
The theoretical frameworks of Hartree-Fock theory and density functional theory are presented as approximate methods to solve the many-electron problem. A variety of ways to incorporate electron correlation are discussed. The application of these techniques to calculate the reactivity and spectroscopic properties of chemical systems, in addition to the thermodynamics and kinetics of chemical processes, is emphasized. This course also focuses on cutting edge methods to sample complex hypersurface
A field of soil
Soil is an example of a non-living thing. Soil contains nutrients and living organisms, but the soil itself is not alive. Soil is important in plant growth because soil gives plants a place to anchor their roots and it also provides the plant with essential nutrients.

Summer Break 2010: Archaeological Field School
College of Charleston students discover history on the College's research plantation during an archaeological field school.
What separates offense and defense on the field? A.J. Walking
As we count down to FIU football 2010, we decided to have a little fun and see how much the FIU community knows about football. We gave a Flip Cam to our very own A.J. Meyer '09, an FIU alumnus who works in Alumni Relations. For 100 days until Sept. 11, A.J. will be walking around campus asking 100 football trivia questions. (You know, like Jay Leno's Jay Walking. Get it? A.J. Walking?)
