  2. 6. Explorations of University Physics in Abstract Contexts : From de Sitter Space to Learning Space

    Author : Daniel Domert; Cedric Linder; Ulf Danielsson; Duncan Fraser; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Physics; phenomenography; cosmology; de Sitter space; quantum mechanics; conceptual understanding; epistemology; physics equations; Fysik; Physics; Fysik; Physics with specialization in Physics Education; Fysik med inriktning mot fysikens didaktik;

    Abstract : This is a thesis which contributes to research in two different fields: theoretical physics and physics education research. The common link between these two research areas is that both involve explorations of abstract physics and mathematical representations, but from different perspectives. READ MORE

  4. 7. Telementoring Physics: University-Community After-school Collaborations and the Mediation of the Formal/ Informal Divide

    Author : Robert A. Lecusay; Michael Cole; Jönköping University; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; informal learning; cultural historical activity theory; science education;

    Abstract : For several decades improvement of science education has been a major concern of policy makers concerned that the U.S. is a “nation at risk” owing to the dearth of students pursing careers in science. READ MORE

  5. 8. Uniformity in physics courses and student diversity : A study of learning to participate in physics

    Author : Anders Johansson; Staffan Andersson; Minna Salminen-Karlsson; Maja Elmgren; Cedric Linder; Maria Berge; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; undergraduate physics education; science participation; discourse; identity; subject position; quantum physics; electromagnetism; Physics with specialization in Physics Education; Fysik med inriktning mot fysikens didaktik;

    Abstract : This licentiate thesis describes an investigation of participation and achievement in undergraduate physics courses with a discourse analytical lens. Issues of unequal participation have been a growing concern for the physics education research community. READ MORE

  6. 9. Machine learning for quantum information and computing

    Author : Shahnawaz Ahmed; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; quantum machine learning; quantum process tomography; quantum information; Machine learning; generative neural networks; variational quantum algorithms; quantum state tomography; optimization; quantum computing; Bayesian estimation;

    Abstract : This compilation thesis explores the merger of machine learning, quantum information, and computing. Inspired by the successes of neural networks and gradient-based learning, the thesis explores how such ideas can be adapted to tackle complex problems that arise during the modeling and control of quantum systems, such as quantum tomography with noisy data or optimizing quantum operations, by incorporating physics-based constraints.

  7. 10. Learning Physics Through Communication During Laboratory Work : An empirical study at upper secondary school

    Author : Jan Andersson; Margareta Enghag; Carl Angell; Karlstads universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Physics education; Laboratory Work; Inquiry; Communication; Discourse Analysis; Physics; Fysik;

    Abstract : Laboratory work as a teaching and learning method is given prominence in the Swedish physics curriculum for upper secondary school. It is emphasised that students should be given opportunities to develop the ability to search for answers to questions, plan, conduct, interpret and present results. READ MORE
