Student Difficulties with Quantum Mechanics Formalism

Physics Education 2016-02-19 v1

Abstract

We discuss student difficulties in distinguishing between the physical space and Hilbert space and difficulties related to the Time-independent Schroedinger equation and measurements in quantum mechanics. These difficulties were identified by administering written surveys and by conducting individual interviews with students.
