We developed and validated a conceptual survey that focuses on the formalism and postulates of quantum mechanics covered in upper-level undergraduate quantum mechanics courses. The concepts included in the Quantum Mechanics Formalism and Postulate Survey (QMFPS) focus on Dirac notation, the Hilbert space, state vectors, physical observables and their corresponding Hermitian operators, compatible and incompatible observables, quantum measurement, time-dependence of quantum states and expectation…

Improving student understanding of Dirac notation by using analogical reasoning in the context of a three-dimensional vector space
TLDR
An investigation of student difficulties with Dirac notation in the context of a three-dimensional vector space and the development, validation and evaluation of a Quantum Interactive Learning Tutorial (QuILT) that uses analogical reasoning to improve student understanding of this notation are discussed.

TLDR
The instrument is shown to enable a reliable and valid survey of declarative knowledge of quantum optics focusing on experiments with heralded photons with three empirically separable subscales.
Student understanding of Fermi energy, the Fermi–Dirac distribution and total electronic energy of a free electron gas
TLDR
It is found that advanced students had many common difficulties with these concepts after traditional lecture-based instruction, and engaging with a sequence of clicker questions improved student performance, but there remains room for improvement in their understanding of these challenging concepts.
Challenges in addressing student difficulties with time-development of two-state quantum systems using a multiple-choice question sequence in virtual and in-person classes
Research-validated clicker questions as instructional tools for formative assessment are relatively easy to implement and can provide effective scaffolding when developed and implemented in a…
Student difficulties with the basics for a system of non-interacting identical particles
We discuss an investigation of upper-level undergraduate and graduate students’ difficulties with fundamental concepts involving a system of identical particles. The investigation was carried out in…
Advanced students’ and faculty members’ reasoning about the double slit experiment with single particles
We describe an investigation focusing on advanced students’ and faculty members’ reasoning about two questions related to the double-slit experiment with single particles. One question posed was a…

Introducing learners to quantum physics in the context of experiments with heralded photons helps them understand superposition of quantum mechanical states and discard deterministic ways of thinking.
Can students apply the concept of “which-path” information learned in the context of Mach–Zehnder interferometer to the double-slit experiment?
The ability to use concepts learned in one context to solve problems in a different context (i.e., transfer of learning) is a hallmark of expertise in physics. The majority of the studies on transfer…
