written by Bradley S. Ambrose

This series of student tutorials for quantum physics, covering topics of wave properties of light and matter, probability, and wave functions. Included with some of the tutorials are pre-tests for the topic and related homework.

This material is based on the work on Intuitive Quantum Physics from the University of Maryland, and tutorials developed at the University of Washington

Shape of the Wave Function
In this tutorial, students work out that the quantum wave function must be sinusoidal for classically allowed regions and exponentially increasing or decreasing for classically forbidden regions. Students need to be familiar with time-independent Schrodinger equation in 1D prior to this tutorial.

Wave-Particle Duality
This tutorial looks at quantum interference from both a wave and particle point of view. Students need to be familiar with deBroglie wavelength prior to this tutorial. Double-slit, single-slit, and Bragg scattering examples are included in the tutorial and associated HW.
