OSP curricular material is organized using the OSP Launcher program written by Doug Brown. Launcher allows us to distribute programs, documentation, and curricular material in a single easily modifiable package. The OSP Spins Launcher package can be accessed by double clicking on the osp_spins.jar file. Click on the Exercises button near the bottom of the splash screen in order to load curricular materials for spin-1/2 systems into Launcher.
This material is organized using tabs which appear at the bottom
of the program depending on which module is selected:
Tutorial, Single Measurement, Multiple Measurement, Spin Precession,
and About.
Select a tab at the bottom of the Launcher window to navigate to the material located in another tab.
All programs are feely distributable under the GNU GPL license.
