Quantum Entanglement... Tied together races

BOne of the more basic topics within quantum physics is the idea of quantum entanglement.  Though I said this is basic, this is still a very advanced idea that has been theorized by many physicists; however, I believe that this can be described as well as demonstrated into simpler terms.  As almost everyone knows, the world is made up by particles.  In the past century, there has been research that particles work as pairs.  The reason why they work as pairs is because every particles as a spin.  If we relate this spin back to quantum computing, there is spin up and spin down. Spin up is when the particle is align with the magnetic field, and spin down is when the particle is aligned reverse to the field.  However, if we look at normal physics we know that all momentum must be conserved. This includes angular momentum.  So whenever we observe the spins of two quantumlly entangled particles, we notice that one spin is up and the other spin is down.  While this is interesting what is more interesting is when one particle is both spin up and spin down. Though there is a ratio of whether a particle is spin up or spin down. The quantumlly entangles pair will always fulfill one being up and one being down as if they were attached by imaginary strings that sends information faster than the speed of light. Does this mean that there is a chance we can send information faster than the speed of light. Most likely, that is not possible as particle act in very random and unreliable ways. This means that our information is too complex to be sent through quantumlly entangled particles.

Outline For My Quantum Physics Project

So now that we are getting closer to the presentation day for our senior projects, I am starting to condense and pick out all of the topics that I will discuss during my ten minutes of speech.  I will include most of the topics that I have already introduced in my blog as well as some that are yet to come.  Topics include: Quantum entanglement, quantum tunneling, uncertainty principle, Schrödinger's cat, etc... Down below I will include a more structured outline of what exactly I will be talking about and in what order they will be discussed in. Also, I am trying to think of a creative way to start my presentation up. So far, I'm thinking about starting it with a small demonstration but we will see. Anyways, here is my outline so far

1. Introduce Quantum Mechanics

    - start on quantum entanglement

    - entanglement activity

2. Uncertainty Principle

    - Schrödinger's cat demonstration

    - discuss the reasoning behind quantum superposition

    - lead into the double-slit experiment

3. Double-Slit Experiment

    - predetermined outcomes

    - lead into parallel worlds

    - many worlds theory

4. The future of quantum physics

    - current plans (Hadron Collider)

    - possibilities (quantum computing)

    - broad concepts (quantum tunneling and black holes.)

5. Questions

6. Ending statement. Thank you
