Seminar on quantum physics for teachers

Class at Faculty of Mathematics and Physics |
NFUF829

Syllabus

1. Experiments leading to development of quantum physics, active learning methods of teaching these topics, - atomic spectra, derivation of Ritz principle from experimental data - photoelectric effect - Compton scattering - quantization of electromagnetic radiation - interference experiments - wave-particle dualism - Stern-Gerlach experiment

2. Revision of basics axioms of quantum mechanics and their non-mathematical formulation

3. Visualization of solution of simple quantum mechanics systems, practical application - potential well, step and barrier, tunneling - harmonic oscillator - spherical symmetric problems - solution of Columbic potential and correct visualization of orbitals

4. Selected advanced topics and their teaching on the upper secondary school level - Dirac notation - various representation and interpretation of quantum mechanics - relativistic quantum mechanics - test of quantum mechanics - famous topics - quantum cryptography, quantum teleportation, quantum computers

Annotation

Seminar extended the compulsory quantum mechanics course for future teachers study branches. It is aimed at the teaching methods of the quantum physics on the upper secondary (or high) school level (i.e. without complex mathematics).
