We are happy to share this new initiative by Giovanni Organtini, Director of the School of Physics for Arduino and Smartphones and Professor at the Sapienza University of Rome Department of Physics, who has started a series of posts to change the way in which quantum mechanics are taught in schools.
“Quantum mechanics is often taught as a revolution, focusing on its paradoxical aspects. This is partially due to the fact that the teachers (books) tend to follow its historical development (which is not always a good idea) and partially due to the wrong idea that these aspects make it more interesting,” explains Giovanni Organtini.
“The result is that most people (including professionals) do not really believe the theory and consider it incomprehensible (often wrongly quoting Prof. Feynman). In reality, quantum mechanics is not so different from classical mechanics, as long as we understand what the latter really is. In this and a series of future posts, I will try to convince you that classical mechanics is actually much closer to quantum mechanics than you believe.”
My first post addresses the concept of state.
Il primo post è dedicato al concetto di stato.
