Effect of an introductory quantum physics course using experiments with heralded photons on preuniversity students’ conceptions about quantum physics

We conducted a quasiexperimental study in order to investigate the effect of a teaching concept on quantum physics based on coincidence and correlation experiments with heralded photons on preuniversity students’ conceptions of quantum physics (experimental group, N=150). We compare the results with...
