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.

  6. Class Activities:  Demos, simulations, discussions, and other activities for use in class
  7. Homework Assignments: sample homework assignments.
  8. Tutorials:  Most of our Tutorials come from the University of Washington's Physics Education Research Group (and you would need to contact them if you wanted to use them, since they are copyrighted) But we enclose here a first pass at several which we built to "fill in cracks" in the UW materials.
  9. Publications
  10. Assessments:  Exams and homework solutions.  You will only have this folder if you have emailed us for the password-protected site. If you want these materials, just email us at Steven.Pollock@colorado.edu or Steven.Goldhaber@colorado.edu.
