Material Detail

University of St Andrews Quantum Mechanics Animations

This site contains a collection of animations for the teaching of quantum mechanics concepts (see also Kohnle et al., Eur J Phys, 31 6 (2010) 1441). Each animation includes a step-by-step exploration that explains key points in detail, and most animations include instructor resources consisting of worksheets with full solutions. Animations build on existing education research as well as our lecturing experience, and aim to specifically target student misconceptions and areas of difficulty in quantum mechanics. Animations have been used and evaluated in several quantum mechanics courses. The development of further animations and extension of site functionality are ongoing.
