Essay On Alice In Quantumland

In the novel Alice in Quantumland by Robert Gilmore, a young girl named Alice, bored with her family and friends away, wishes she could be more like the Alice in her book- “Alice in Wonderland”. Alice decides to watch T.V., but when she notices something strange happening around her she’s sucked into a world of wonder and science.
The Hiesenberg Bank Alice finds herself in a place named Quantumland. In Quantumland, each attraction demonstrates something different used in science. To be able to understand Quantum Land, Alice is told she must first has to travel to the Heisenberg Bank. She began asking questions, when a guard tells Alice she can’t skip in line. She quickly becomes confused because she is not standing in a line. She then saw electrons begin to morph together and others vanish. The Bank Manager begins to explain to Alice that the bank is in charge of distribution of energy loans to all virtual particles. In order for a particle to exist it must have a certain minimum energy, called its rest mass energy (Gilmore 14). The electrons are about to get loans of energy from the Heisenberg Bank which allows them to exist for
The states seemed to look different from different directions. The Principal told Alice this was because she was seeing different representations of the states. The nature of the state depends on how you observe it. A state is not able to give definite results for all observations. Although, the different states can change the number of the states remain constant. Photons have important parts in exciting electron from one state to another and creating interactions. The Principal explained to Alice that The Fermi-Bose Academy doesn’t deal with virtual photons to create interactions as much. He tells Alice if she is interested in states, then she should visit the State Agent. Alice was escorted out of the Academy, and on her way to her next
