Haverkamp, Nils; Pusch, Alexander; Heusler, Stefan; Gregor, Markus – Physics Education, 2022
Quantum technology is an emerging field of physics and engineering and important applications are expected in quantum computing, quantum sensing, quantum cryptography, quantum simulation, and quantum metrology. Thus the need for education in this field is increasing, while still remaining challenging. While the need for basic education in quantum…

Paixão, P. A.; Remonatto, V. M. C.; Calheiro, L. B.; Dos Reis, D. D.; Goncalves, A. M. B. – Physics Education, 2022
Here, we present a 3D printed experimental apparatus that students can use to acquire interference and diffraction quantitative data from light passing through a single or double-slit experiment. We built a linear screw stage with a multiturn potentiometer connected to its leadscrew as a position sensor. Using an Arduino, we collected light…

Dilek, Ufuk; Erol, Mustafa – Physics Education, 2018
Developed by using ARKit, a novel app which can be used to detect position in physics experiments was introduced. The ARKit relies on a new technique. The result of the experiment presented in this study was satisfactory, suggesting that the new technique can be employed in position detection experiments/demonstrations that are conducted using…

Murphy, Evan; Hughes, Stephen – Physics Education, 2014
The determination of latitude and longitude on Earth has always been of interest to explorers and cartographers alike. Accurate positional information is often needed for rescue purposes in locations where satellite navigational systems are inoperable. The activity described in this paper demonstrates a simple procedure to determine latitude and…
