@postquantum.bsky.social your scirate link is broken

What brand/model you like? Mine is reaching the end of its life also 😅

Thanks I had to scroll way too far to find this

It does this with physics in a really insufferable way too (and is often wrong about things). I just ask it to stop and give straightforward explanations as in a lecture or textbook and works ok. It’s still wrong, but less insufferable

Gauss enjoyers it’s our time to shine! Think about it: Gauss = bigger number = better! There’s no downside here

I’ve really been enjoying you work and am wondering where I can learn more about the process you use for plotting, do you have it posted anywhere? Many thanks!

We used it for both Sophomore E&M & mechanics. I wish I would have had that model in own my upper division courses since the old lecture model didn’t work for me personally. I relied on HW group peer discussion + office hours to get through BS and PhD.

We used the in-class polling (using clickers) + peer discussion activities mentioned above. It offered a balance between the small group learning and trad lecture format, and was easy to opt out of for students with any challenges (click-in anonymously to check their answer, no wrong-shaming)

We paired all these elements with a flipped classroom as part of a physics ed research pilot in a group I was part of a few years ago and it worked really well. Students showed better HW and exam scores compared to traditional lecture (by same prof!) across all cohorts

Do the students already have a discussion and/or lab section in addition to the lecture?

@sebastian.bsky.social has “The New Quantum Era” which is quite good: @newquantumera.com, and his older effort about the history of quantum computing “Forwards and Backwards” - highly recommend both! @seanmcarroll.bsky.social ‘s Mindscape podcast occasionally has Quantum folks (besides the host)

Adding to what Zylogram said, you might look to the NSF’s QLCI and National Quantum Nanofab programs. The latter is just launching but the former has been running for 5 years and some very interesting work has been done

Second vote for Tom Wong’s book, I’m just finishing it now and it’s quite good, likely the level of background and complexity you’re seeking
