  1. 3448. (I) Teaching quantum computing through quantum software
    Olivia Di Matteo (The University of British Columbia)

    Physics Education / Enseignement de la physique (DPE-DEP)
    Invited Speaker / Conférencier(ère) invité(e)

    In winter 2022, I designed and delivered an undergraduate course in quantum computing for 4th year computer engineering students at UBC. The core tenet of the course was "implement everything": roughly half the lecture time consisted of live-coding the theory and algorithms to show how they are implemented in practice, and demonstrating tools that are used on a daily basis in research. I...

  2. 3286. Fully Immersive VR in Teaching and Science Outreach
    Mr Jonathan Barrett (MUN)

    Physics Education / Enseignement de la physique (DPE-DEP)
    Oral not-in-competition (Undergraduate Student) / Orale non-compétitive (Étudiant(e) du 1er cycle)

    While certainly not a replacement for hands-on physics labs, the fully immersive virtual reality (VR) technology creates opportunities for new learning experiences that would otherwise be too expensive or impossible implement, such as observing high-energy particle scattering or touring the Solar System. A standard VR system is also relatively easy to transport and set up, making it an...

  3. 3274. (G*) Virtual Learning Resources for Education and Training in Neutron Scattering
    Yijia Zi (McMaster University)
    08/06/2022, 16:00
    Physics Education / Enseignement de la physique (DPE-DEP)
    Oral Competition (Graduate Student) / Compétition orale (Étudiant(e) du 2e ou 3e cycle)

    Neutron scattering is one of the most powerful experimental techniques in the modern study of materials. Neutrons are used to investigate the structure and dynamics of materials on an atomic scale, helping scientists to understand the properties of materials ranging from high-temperature superconductors to red blood cells and turbine blades. However, access to neutron beams is in short supply....

  4. 3478. (U*) Novel methods to model the spread of COVID-19 in Kingston and inform public health policy
    Ashley Micuda (Queen's University)
    08/06/2022, 16:15
    Physics Education / Enseignement de la physique (DPE-DEP)
    Oral Competition (Undergraduate Student) / Compétition orale (Étudiant(e) du 1er cycle)

    In this study led by a group of multidisciplinary undergraduate students, a novel model for the
    propagation of COVID-19 was developed to understand the spread in Kingston, as well as the effect of vaccination interventions. The simulation is coded using the Monte Carlo method with an
    agent-based model in python, to simulate a realistic COVID-19 situation using current known...
