👨🏼🏫👩🏼🏫 Teaching & Learning
On this page, we collect educational materials that our researchers have created for students, educators, and anyone interested in science, especially quantum physics. These materials include a variety of presentations, tutorials, lecture notes, etc., all designed to enable exploration of the key concepts and findings in our research field. Our goal is to simplify the learning process and create a collaborative and knowledge-sharing environment that encourages active participation and engagement in our research.
