Perspectives in Quantum Physics: Epistemological, Ontological and Pedagogical
by Charles Baily
Publisher: arXiv 2011
Number of pages: 353
Description:
We have developed a framework for understanding and characterizing student perspectives on the physical interpretation of quantum mechanics, and demonstrate the differential impact on student thinking of the myriad ways instructors approach interpretive themes in their introductory courses. We show how a transformed modern physics curriculum may positively impact student perspectives on indeterminacy and wave-particle duality, by making questions of classical and quantum reality a central theme of our course, but also by making the beliefs of our students, and not just those of scientists, an explicit topic of discussion.

Quantum Transientsby A. del Campo, G. Garcia-Calderon, J. G. Muga - arXiv
Quantum transients are temporary features of matter waves before they reach a stationary regime. Transients may arise after the preparation of an unstable initial state or due to a sudden interaction or a change in the boundary conditions.

Quantum Nonlocalityby Lev Vaidman (ed.) - MDPI AG
This book presents the current views on the bizarre property of quantum theory: nonlocality. The contributions in the book describe the bizarre aspects of nonlocality -- a phenomenon which cannot be explained in the framework of classical physics.
