Meeting the Challenge: Quantum Physics in Introductory Physics Courses

摘要: Teaching quantum theory is a legendary difficult task, not only due to its weirdness, but also because it philosophically sensitive. Examples from the history and philosophy of science show that one main challenges find balanced approach between introducing most basic concepts while taking into account interpretational issues. Although there no privileged interpretation for QT, teaching research about QT must make choice used explicit. In addition any introductory course should emphasize strictly features in order prevent students establishing undesirable links with classical concepts. While focused on mathematical formalism remains choice, pictures may be exploited, this case complementarity explicitly carefully introduced. Finally, we argue maybe more than other areas physics, informed by science.
