NYU Quantum Technology Lab explain the recent FermiLab muon g-2 experiments. We explain the basics of what is a magnetic moment, what is this factor of g, why its not exactly 2, and the role of quantum fluctuations. We also talk a bit about the QCD calculations and how they influence the muon g factor.
Some of the material that are used in the slides are here:
