In this article, an approach to integrate contemporary quantum physics into secondary
school teaching is presented. The Erlanger concept on quantum optics provides an …

Single photon experiments involving a Mach-Zehnder interferometer can illustrate the
fundamental principles of quantum mechanics, eg, the wave-particle duality of a single …

Just-in-Time Teaching (JiTT) is an instructional strategy involving feedback from students on
prelecture activities in order to design in-class activities to build on the continuing feedback …

We have developed and evaluated a quantum interactive learning tutorial (QuILT) on a
Mach–Zehnder interferometer with single photons to expose upper-level students in …

Teaching and learning quantum mechanics is one of the most demanding educational and
conceptual challenges, in particular in secondary schools where students do not possess an …
