Interpretation in quantum physics as hidden curriculum [PDF]

, 2010
Prior research has demonstrated how the realist perspectives of classical physics students can translate into specific beliefs about quantum phenomena when taking an introductory modern physics course.

Student perspectives in quantum physics [PDF]

, 2008
Introductory courses in classical physics are promoting in students a realist perspective, made up in part by the belief that all physical properties of a system can be simultaneously specified, and thus determined at all future times. Such a perspective

A design for a subminiature, low energy scanning electron microscope with atomic resolution [PDF]

, 2009
We describe a type of scanning electron microscope that works by directly imaging the electron field-emission sites on a nanotip. Electrons are extracted from the nanotip through a nanoscale aperture, accelerated in a high electric field, and focused to ...

Refined characterization of student perspectives on quantum physics [PDF]

, 2010
The perspectives of introductory classical physics students can often negatively influence how those students later interpret quantum phenomena when taking an introductory course in modern physics.

Developing tutorials for advanced physics students : processes and lessons learned [PDF]

, 2014
Supported by the University of Colorado and NSF-CCLI grant #1023028.When education researchers describe newly developed curricular materials, they typically concentrate on the research base behind their design, and the efficacy of the final products, but

Interpretive themes in quantum physics : curriculum development and outcomes [PDF]

, 2011
A common learning goal for modern physics instructors is for students to recognize a difference between the experimental uncertainty of classical physics and the fundamental uncertainty of quantum mechanics.

Focus on classical and quantum analogues for gravitational phenomena and related effects [PDF]

, 2012
Hawking's prediction that black holes are not black but radiate has been one of the intellectually most influential results of theoretical physics, but Hawking's theory has not so far been testable. Recent developments in analogue models of gravity might
