On the nature of continuous physical quantities in classical and quantum mechanics [PDF]

, 2000
Within the traditional Hilbert space formalism of quantum mechanics, it is not possible to describe a particle as possessing, simultaneously, a sharp position value and a sharp momentum value.

Insights into teaching quantum mechanics in secondary and lower undergraduate education

Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2017
This study presents a review of the current state of research on teaching quantum mechanics in secondary and lower undergraduate education. A conceptual approach to quantum mechanics is being implemented in more and more introductory physics courses ...

Statistical VS Wave Realism in the Foundations of Quantum Mechanics [PDF]

, 2012
Different realistic attitudes towards wavefunctions and quantum states are as old as quantum theory itself. Recently Pusey, Barret and Rudolph (PBR) on the one hand, and Auletta and Tarozzi (AT) on the other, have proposed new interesting arguments in ...

Formalism and Interpretation in Quantum Theory [PDF]

, 2008
Quantum Mechanics can be viewed as a linear dynamical theory having a familiar mathematical framework but a mysterious probabilistic interpretation, or as a probabilistic theory having a familiar interpretation but a mysterious formal framework.

Aspects of PT-symmetric quantum mechanics [PDF]

, 2004
PT-symmetric quantum mechanics is an alternative to the usual hermitian quantum mechanics. We will start this thesis by taking an overview of the subject, seeing some of the elementary consequences of this different approach.

Quantum mechanics concept assessment: Development and validation study

Physical Review Special Topics. Physics Education Research, 2015
As part of an ongoing investigation of students’ learning in first semester upper-division quantum mechanics, we needed a high-quality conceptual assessment instrument for comparing outcomes of different curricular approaches.

Experimental Test of the “Special State” Theory of Quantum Measurement

Entropy, 2012
An experimental test of the “special state” theory of quantum measurement is proposed. It should be feasible with present-day laboratory equipment and involves a slightly elaborated Stern–Gerlach setup.

Quantum Effects on the Mesoscale

Particles, 2020
In different areas of mechanics, highly non-equilibrium processes are accompanied by self-organization of various type turbulent structures and localized inhomogeneities at intermediate scale between macro and micro levels.
