Time & quantum mechanics talk done

Did the talk Saturday evening as planned.  Very sophisticated audience: almost everyone there had heard of the double slit experiment!

The talk went over well:  audience enthusiastic; lots of good questions.  Post talk I was asked if I would do similar presentations for Capclave & for the Library of Congress.  Leaning in favor.

I think that to really get across quantum mechanics, especially in a short time, nothing beats animations; the animations of the single & double slit were probably the most effective bits.  In future talks I shall be more animated.

The animations were courtesy of Bernd Thaller’s Advanced Visual Quantum Mechanics. He provides a useful kit of Mathematica functions for building such; looks a good starting point.

I’ve uploaded the power point & keynote versions of the talk so you can see the animations of the double slit experiment, if you have power point and/or keynote.  You may have to tell your browser how to handle .ppt and/or .key files, for all parts to work with maximum smoothness.

The pdf & html versions are still present, of course.  These are the talk as delivered, slightly different from the version previously posted (I added several more slides on the quantum eraser).
