I think one of the best things about a liberal arts education is the literacy about things: as in, not being completely ignorant about what’s shaping the cultural milieu. One of the liberal arts classes required as a first-year at my school is Frontiers of Science, which aims to equip undergrads with natural science literacy. For our end-of-semester project, we more or less got to explore a related topic and present it in some way to a general audience.
I decided to make a ‘visual exhibit’ on the intersection of quantum mechanics (one of the topics we learned) and data science (something I find really cool and want to learn more about). Also, quantum computing has become somewhat of a buzzword; I wanted to see what this was about, at least in a general sense.
I’m hosting it on my website. Check it out here: http://gaolyra.com/FROSCI.
