Bringing the second quantum revolution into high school

Abstract: The aim of this thesis is to bridge the gap between the world of physics research and secondary education on contemporary quantum physics. We fostered the creation of a generative learning environment formed by quantum physics researchers, high school physics teachers and student. The result was the development of an teaching approach to the core ideas of quantum physics (quantum states, superposition and measurement) that has been used to design and implement teaching-learning activities in regular high school lessons.
