1. Chemistry in the News Quantum Heuristics in Chemistry Nobel Prize 2013 -Michael Fine
2. Quantum Mechanics is HARD
3. An Overview Modeling Quantum Mechanics Lab!
4. Quantum Mechanics is BIG But we’ll focus on a small piece
5. Let’s Start With Something simple Where is Mr. Hall?
7. Sum  over  Histories  
8. Again, Quantum Mechanics is Weird But, It makes useful predictions about our world
9. Protein  Folding  
10. By combining quantum and classical physics,Levitt’s and Warshel’s Model dramatically sped up the calculations, while still remaining accurate O(N3) O(N2) Lysozomine: 12214672127 5303809 VS
11. LAB!!!   But first, just a little more background
12. Procedure   1.  Shine  laser  at  blank  surface,  postulate  what   spliBng  the  beam  will  do   2.  Glue  a  wire  to  the  laser,  bisecEng  it  in  half   3.  Measure  spacing  of  bands   4.  Determine  the  wavelength  of  the  laser,  using   the  formula  w=z*lambda/d  
14. How this ties in
