MILQ – Teaching Quantum Physics

Quantum mechanics is not only perceived as difficult by students. It really is. Every teacher must face the extremely difficult conceptual problems that it raises. The internet portal milq is aimed at anyone who teaches quantum physics at school and / or would like to learn more about it in more detail.

The tested and evaluated milq course constitutes the centre. Here you will find conceptual background knowledge adapted to the school lessons.
The section more offers additional content, but is still in the process of translation from german.

The section materials lists all teaching aids such as simulations, the complete milq script and additional texts, all available as downloads.

Some simulation are also available as web versions. Feel free to try them out, feedback is always welcome.

Under More > QTIndu, you will find learning materials on quantum technologies developed as part of the QTIndu project. A total of three courses (Basic rules of Quantum Physics, Quantum Communication & Networks, Quantum Myths) have been added. Please feel free to take a look around – your feedback is always welcome.
