Quantum I: Materials Archive
At CU Boulder, we have been working on a long term project
to help transform (in perhaps small but important ways) our upper division
undergraduate Quantum I course to make better use of ideas and materials from
the PER community.
In this folder, you will find a number of materials we have
borrowed or developed. Feel free to use what you like - we would like to share
materials, but also believe in giving credit to sources whenever possible.
You can download the latest version of these materials at http://www.colorado.edu/sei/departments/physics_3220.htm
If you want the course materials including assessments and
exams, email us.

they are copyrighted) But we enclose here a first pass at several which we
built to "fill in cracks" in the UW materials.
