RHS senior authors quantum physics series EDITED BY BILL SANSERVINO
When rising Robbinsville High School senior Arnav Janeesh first became interested in quantum physics, he realized the resources needed to learn the subject were highly decentralized, making it hard for beginners to grasp the complex material. He decided to fix the problem himself, authoring a multi-volume e-book series designed to help people without a physics background understand the basics of quantum theory. “I’ve met so many people interested in learning more about quantum physics, as well as quantum computing, but they’re scared off by the subject because they don’t know where to start,” Janeesh said. He added: “My goal with this book series is to lay out the basics so people don’t have to search for the resources themselves.” The e-book series, titled the “Quantum Science Ebook Series,” currently contains five volumes — a number Janeesh hopes to increase to about 20 in the next few years. The existing volumes focus on topics such as wave-particle duality, quantum states and quantum entanglement — all key components in the quantum computing advancements currently being made by companies such as Microsoft, according to Janeesh. The rising senior wrote the books using a wide array of credible sources, including YouTube videos by quantum experts and peer-reviewed academic papers. He then sent drafts to graduate students and professors at institutions worldwide to verify the content. He credits RHS physics teacher Shannon Wesley for inspiring him to learn more about the subject and See BOOK, Page 4

Softball All Stars take state title BY RICH FISHER
One of Robbinsville’s proudest traditions went into hibernation for two years but returned in all its glory this summer. On July 20, Robbinsville Little League’s 10-year-old All-Star team won the organization’s first District 12 title since the 12s in 2022 — but it didn’t stop there. The 10s went on to win the Section 3 and state crowns and began pool play in the Mid-Atlan-
tic Regional on Staten Island on July 25. The tournament was scheduled to conclude with a championship game on July 30. It is the first state title for Robbinsville since the 12-year-olds reached the 2021 World Series. Manager Frank Zadlock hopes his team is continuing that World Series legacy. “We have a lot of rich history,” Zadlock said. “We have been to six World Series. Hopefully this team can be a part of that history moving forward
— there is no 10-year-old World Series. The future looks strong. “Hopefully the majority of this team has two more years in Little League. Our success now is not going to make us happy and satisfied. It’s going to motivate us, knowing we can grow and get better and have further development and continue that rich tradition.” Robbinsville breezed through the three-team district, outscoring oppoSee CHAMPS, Page 18
