How and why to think about scattering in terms of wave packets instead of plane waves
Travis Norsen, Joshua Lande, S. B. McKagan
We discuss "the plane wave approximation" to quantum mechanical scattering using simple one-dimensional examples. The central points of the paper are that (a) plane waves should be…

Exploring Student Understanding of Energy through the Quantum Mechanics Conceptual Survey
S. B. McKagan, C. E. Wieman
We present a study of student understanding of energy in quantum mechanical tunneling and barrier penetration. This paper will focus on student responses to two questions that were…
