Circuit Break - A MacroFab Podcast

MEP EP#328: Berry Based Physics with Collin Anderson
Collin Anderson

Computer scientist turned electrical engineer
Has worked on things as varied as:

Quantum key distribution at Los Alamos National Laboratory
A tool to help decipher glyphs of the classical Mayan civilization
FPGA firmware at the Ice Cube Neutrino Observatory

Currently an engineer and co-founder of Orthogonal Systems

An engineering and software development firm specializing in:

Custom test & measurement hardware
Databases
Data analysis

What are Particles Really?

Thinking of sub atomic objects as particles muddies the water
Starting with an understanding of wave theory
Knowing particles are waves, the weirdness is less weird

Electron Standing Waves

Current flow is more like a sound pressure wave
Each electron is kinda doing its own thing
