Quantum workshops with pupils at the Max-Planck-Gymnasium in Düsseldorf

As part of the BMBF-funded QuFabLabs project, two quantum workshops were held on 22.01.2025 with 52 students from two basic physics courses in year 12 and with the advanced physics course in year 12. The aim was to evaluate the Michelson interferometer experiments developed by the Niederrhein University of Applied Sciences as a quantum mechanical experiment in a virtual reality (VR) application and an augmented reality (AR) application equipped with a haptic artifact. The aim of the workshop was to find out whether these two variants can facilitate learning compared to traditional teaching. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

The pupils found it easy to use the applications, were impressed and had fun doing so. They see “the future” in it and confirm in particular the suitability of the AR application with haptic components as very helpful for understanding and learning.

The QuFabLabs team at the university was very pleased with the results.
Planning for the next evaluation workshops has already begun.
