ACE Physics

We’re developing a suite of online activities—tutorials—for middle/upper-division quantum mechanics. They’re freely available for anyone to use.

  1. Changing Basis — click here to try it out

    Relate quantum state vectors to 2D Cartesian vectors, and practice using projection inner products to change basis.

    Note: the guidance on this page is more heavy-handed. The answers to these questions help with the rest of the tutorial.

  2. Quantum Mouse — click here to try it out

    Practice with Dirac notation, interpretation and solving of eigen-equations, and the basic quantum rules involving probability amplitudes.

    Note: the guidance on this page is less heavy-handed. Students will grapple with similar questions as the tutorial progresses.

  3. Quantum Cryptography — click here to try it out

    An investigation of the BB84 protocol suitable for students with either a physics or computer science background.

    Note: the guidance on this page is under development. We're looking to work with more pilot sites to test and improve the guidance messages!

Whether you’re considering using ACE Physics, or if you’re just exploring, we’re interested in your feedback. Please do get in touch if you might like to use these activities in your classes.
