===== Quantum Activities =====

  * See a [[:courses:start|sample syllabus]] of how we order these materials.
  * Tips on how to [[whitepapers:sequences:start#quantum_mechanics_sequences|sequence activities]] with lecture and class discussion.
  * Textbook:  We have written a textbook, [[texts:quantumbook:start|Paradigms in Physics:Quantum Mechanics]], that reflects the way we teach the subject.  The quantum activities are also [[topic:qmtext|organized by textbook chapter]].

==== Stern-Gerlach Simulations ====

These labs all use a java program called SPINS that simulates Stern-Gerlach
experiments with spin-1/2 and spin-1 particles.  The software runs on all
platforms and can be downloaded from
[[http://physics.oregonstate.edu/~mcintyre/ph425/SpinsOSU.html|
	the SPINS home page]].
