Large-scale quantum simulations of dissipative spin-1/2 Heisenberg chains
João C. Getelina, Andrew Cox, Muhammad Asaduzzaman +4
A quantum many-body system coupled to an environment relaxes to a nonequilibrium steady state that can sustain order with no equilibrium counterpart. Computing such steady states i…
Computational projects with the Landau-Zener problem in the quantum mechanics classroom
Livia A. J. Guttieres, Marko D. Petrovic, James K. Freericks
The Landau-Zener problem, where a minimum energy separation is passed with constant rate in a two-state quantum-mechanical system, is an excellent model quantum system for a comput…
Focus on conceptual ideas in quantum mechanics for teacher training
J. K. Freericks
In this work, we describe strategies and provide case-study activities that can be used to examine the properties of superposition, entanglement, tagging, complementarity, and meas…
Should we trade off higher-level mathematics for abstraction to improve student understanding of quantum mechanics?
James K. Freericks, Leanne Doughty
Undergraduate quantum mechanics focuses on teaching through a wavefunction approach in the position-space representation. This leads to a differential equation perspective for teac…
Free expansion of a Gaussian wavepacket using operator manipulations
Alessandro M. Orjuela, J. K. Freericks
The free expansion of a Gaussian wavepacket is a problem commonly discussed in undergraduate quantum classes by directly solving the time-dependent Schrodinger equation as a differ…
How to measure the momentum of single quanta
J. K. Freericks
The von Neumann theory of measurement, based on an entanglement of the quantum observable with a classical machine followed by decoherence or collapse, does not readily apply to mo…
