Improving student understanding of addition of angular momentum in quantum mechanics

Improving student understanding of addition of angular momentum in quantum mechanics

We describe the difficulties advanced undergraduate and graduate students have with concepts related to addition of angular momentum in quantum mechanics. We also describe the development and implementation of a research-based learning tool, Quantum Interactive Learning Tutorial (QuILT), to reduce t...
