The document discusses key concepts in quantum mechanics including:
1. Photons carry energy and momentum that depends on their frequency or wavelength. Electrons also behave as both particles and waves with an associated wavelength.
2. Heisenberg's uncertainty principle establishes that the more precisely one property of a particle is measured, the less precisely its complementary property can be known.
3. Atomic spectra are unique to each element and arise from electrons transitioning between discrete energy levels in atoms. The wavelength of emitted photons corresponds to energy differences between levels.

Lightning Talk #9: How UX and Data Storytelling Can Shape Policy by Mika Aldabaux singapore
How can we take UX and Data Storytelling out of the tech context and use them to change the way government behaves?
Showcasing the truth is the highest goal of data storytelling. Because the design of a chart can affect the interpretation of data in a major way, one must wield visual tools with care and deliberation. Using quantitative facts to evoke an emotional response is best achieved with the combination of UX and data storytelling.
Succession “Losers”: What Happens to Executives Passed Over for the CEO Job?
By David F. Larcker, Stephen A. Miles, and Brian Tayan
Stanford Closer Look Series
Overview:
Shareholders pay considerable attention to the choice of executive selected as the new CEO whenever a change in leadership takes place. However, without an inside look at the leading candidates to assume the CEO role, it is difficult for shareholders to tell whether the board has made the correct choice. In this Closer Look, we examine CEO succession events among the largest 100 companies over a ten-year period to determine what happens to the executives who were not selected (i.e., the “succession losers”) and how they perform relative to those who were selected (the “succession winners”).
We ask:
• Are the executives selected for the CEO role really better than those passed over?
• What are the implications for understanding the labor market for executive talent?
• Are differences in performance due to operating conditions or quality of available talent?
• Are boards better at identifying CEO talent than other research generally suggests?

Quantum Mechanics: Electrons, Transistors, & LASERS. Paul H. Carr
Quantum Mechanics, QM, has enabled new technologies that impact our daily lives. Yet, there have been at least 14 different QM interpretations in the last century. “If you think you understand QM, you don’t,” said Richard Feynman. Our macroscopic language is inadequate to describe the wave-particle duality of microscopic QM particles. Mathematics works better. This talk illuminated the production of the play Copenhagen, in which German physicist Werner Heisenberg, who directed the German attempt to make an atom bomb, visited Niels Bohr in Denmark during WWII.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

Quantum physics
1. The Big Idea
Quantum Mechanics, discovered early in the 20th century, completely shook the way physicists
think. Quantum Mechanics is the description of how the universe works on the very small scale.
It turns out that we can predict not what will happen, but only the probability of what will happen.
The uncertainty of quantum events is extremely important at the atomic or smaller level but not
important at the macroscopic level. In fact the correspondence principle states that all results from
quantum mechanics must agree with classical physics as the mass increases. The foundation of
quantum mechanics was developed on the observation of wave-particle duality.
Electromagnetic Radiation is carried by particles, called photons, which interact with electrons.
Depending on the experiment photons can behave as particles or waves. The reverse is also true;
electrons can also behave as particles or waves.
Because the electron has a wavelength its position and momentum can never be precisely
established. This is called the uncertainty principle. (What has been said above about the electron
is true for protons or any other particle, but, experimentally, the effects become undetectable with
increasing mass.)
The Key Concepts
• The energy of a photon is the product of the frequency and Planck’s Constant. This is the
exact amount of energy an electron will have if it absorbs a photon.
• A photon, which has neither mass nor volume, carries energy and momentum; the
quantity of either energy or momentum in a photon depends on its frequency. The
photon travels at the speed of light.
• If an electron loses energy the photon emitted, to obey the law of energy conservation,
will have its frequency (and wavelength) determined by the electron’s energy..
• An electron, which has mass (but probably no volume) has energy and momentum
determined by its speed, which is always less than that of light. The electron has a
wavelength determined by its momentum.
• If a photon strikes some photoelectric material its energy must first go into releasing the
electron from the material (This is called the work function of the material.) The
remaining energy, if any, goes into kinetic energy of the electron and the voltage of an
electric circuit can be calculated from this. The current comes from the number of
electrons/second and that corresponds exactly to the number of photons/second.
People’s Physics book Ch 24-1
2. • Increasing the number of photons will not change the amount of energy an electron will
have, but will increase the number of electrons emitted
• The momentum of photons is equal to Planck’s constant divided by the wavelength
• The wavelength of electrons is equal to Planck’s constant divided by the electron’s
momentum. If an electron is traveling at about .1c this wavelength is then not much
smaller than the size of an atom.
• The size of the electron’s wavelength determines the possible energy levels in an atom.
These are negative energies since the electron is said to have zero potential energy when
it is ionized. The lowest energy level (ground state) for hydrogen is -13.6 ev. The
second level is -3.4 ev. Atoms with multiple electrons have multiple sets of energy
levels. (And energy levels are different for partially ionized atoms.)
• When an electron absorbs a photon it moves to higher energy level, depending on the
energy of the photon. If a 13.6 ev photon hits a hydrogen atom it ionizes that atom. If a
10.2 ev photon strikes hydrogen the electron is moved to the next level.
• Atomic spectra are unique to each element. They are seen when electrons drop from a
higher energy level to a lower one. For example when an electron drops from -3.4 ev to
-13.6 ev in Hydrogen then a 10.2 ev photon is emitted. The spectra can be in infra-red,
visible light, ultra-violet and even X-rays. (The 10.2 ev photon is ultra-violet.)
• The wave nature of electrons makes it impossible to determine exactly both its
momentum and position. The product of the two uncertainties is of the order of Plank’s
Constant. (Uncertainty in the electron’s energy and time are likewise so related.)
The Key Equations
E = hf ; Relates energy of a photon to its frequency.
p = h/λ ; Relates the momentum of a photon to its wavelength.
λ = h/p ; The Debroglie wavelength of an electron.
(Δx) (Δp) ≥ h/4π ; This is the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, (HUP) and relates
the minimum measurable quantities in momentum and position
of a particle.
(ΔE) (Δt) ≥ h/4π ; Relates the uncertainty in measuring the energy of a particle and
the time it takes to do the measurement.
h = 6.626 X 10-34 J-sec ; Planck’s constant.
1 ev = 1.602 X10-19 J ; The most convenient unit of energy at the atomic scale is the
electonvolt, defined as the potential energy of the charge of an
electron across a potential difference of 1 volt.
1240nm ~ 1ev ; A photon of energy of 1.00 ev has a wavelength of 1240 nm and
vice versa. This is a convenient shortcut for determining the
wavelengths of photons emitted when electrons change energy
levels, or for calculations involving the photoelectric effect.

distance compare to the size of an atom?
d. What if, instead of an electron and a positron pair, you got a proton/anti-proton
pair? The mass of a proton is about 2000× higher than the mass of an electron.
Will your proton/anti-proton pair last a longer or shorter amount of time than the
electron/positron pair? Why?
