Threshold in quantum correlated interference for a particle interacting with two scatterers
F. V. Kowalski
Correlated interference is calculated for a microscopic particle retro-reflecting from two spatially separated scatterers that are free to move, all three of which are treated as q…
Energy relaxation in a vacuum capacitor-resistor circuit: measurement of multiple decays with divergent time constants
Frank V. Kowalski
The decay of the electrical energy in a resistor-vacuum capacitor circuit is shown to involve multiple relaxation processes, with dramatically different time constants. This is mea…
Planck scale displacement of a connected mirror pair: an energy measurement in a gravitational field
Frank V. Kowalski
Reflection of a particle from a mirror pair that is fixed to a platform which falls freely in a gravitational field is shown to infer displacement of the center of mass of this pla…
Collective behavior in quantum interference: an alternative superposition principle
F. V. Kowalski
An interferometer in which all of its components are treated as quantum bodies is examined with the standard interpretation and with a model in which its uncoupled spatially separa…
Three-particle quantum correlation interferometry
F. V. Kowalski
A three-body quantum correlation is calculated for two particles reflecting from a mirror. Correlated interference, a consequence of conservation of energy and momentum, occurs for…
Embedded Formative Assessment in the Undergraduate Engineering Classroom
Frank V. Kowalski, Susan E. Kowalski
This paper first provides an overview of the pedagogical role of formative assessment in the undergraduate engineering classroom. In the last decade, technology-facilitated impleme…
Quantum correlation between a particle and potential well or barrier
F. V. Kowalski, R. S. Browne
A two-body quantum correlation is calculated for a particle and an infinite potential well in which it is trapped or either a barrier or finite well over which it traverses. Correl…
Two-particle asynchronous quantum correlation: wavefunction collapse acting as a beamsplitter
F. V. Kowalski, R. S. Browne
A two-body quantum correlation is calculated for a particle reflecting from a moving mirror. Correlated interference results when the incident and reflected particle substates and…
Two-particle correlated interference in reflection: extending the quantum-classical boundary via a macroscopic quantum superposition insensitive to decoherence
F. V. Kowalski, R. S. Browne
Reflection of a microscopic particle from a mesoscopic/macroscopic `mirror' generates two-body correlated interference from the incident and reflected particle substates and their…
Technology-Enabled Nurturing of Creativity and Innovation: A Specific Illustration from an Undergraduate Engineering Physics Course
F. V. Kowalski, S. E. Kowalski, P. B. Kohl +1
There is general agreement that creativity and innovation are desirable traits in the toolbox of 21\textsuperscript{st} century engineers, as well as in the future workforce in gen…
The Effect of Student Learning Styles on the Learning Gains Achieved When Interactive Simulations Are Coupled with Real-Time Formative Assessment via Pen-Enabled Mobile Technology
F. V. Kowalski, S. E. Kowalski
This paper describes results from a project in an undergraduate engineering physics course that coupled classroom use of interactive computer simulations with the collection of rea…
Enhancing Curiosity Using Interactive Simulations Combined with Real-Time Formative Assessment Facilitated by Open-Format Questions on Tablet Computers
F. V. Kowalski, S. E. Kowalski
Students' curiosity often seems nearly nonexistent in a lecture setting; we discuss a variety of possible reasons for this, but it is the instructor who typically poses questions w…
