Wave-particle duality and uncertainty principle: Phenomenographic categories of description of tertiary physics students’ depictions

Quantum mechanics is often thought to be a difficult subject to understand, not only in the complexity of its mathematics but also in its conceptual foundation. In this paper we emphasize students’ depictions of the uncertainty principle and wave-particle duality of quantum events, phenomena that co...
