Investigation of Student Understanding of Representations of Probability Concepts in Quantum Mechanics
Direct linkDirect link
William D. Riihiluoma – ProQuest LLC, 2023
The ability to relate physical concepts and phenomena to multiple mathematical representations--and to move fluidly between these representations--is a critical outcome expected of physics instruction. In upper-division quantum mechanics, students must work with multiple symbolic notations, including some that they have not previously encountered.…
