How do scientists explain basic concepts in quantum physics? — •Stina Scheer and Gunnar Friege — Institut für Didaktik der Mathematik und Physik, Leibniz Universität Hannover

Quantum physics is often perceived as complicated, unintuitive and hard to explain. So how do experts in quantum physics explain its basic concepts, such as the uncertainty principle? In an ongoing study we asked young scientists doing research in quantum metrology to explain such concepts to an interested first year university student. Here we report our initial findings on content structure and explanatory elements used within these explanations. The design and evaluation are based on known concepts of explaining and expert-novice communication.
