New Ways to Reimagine Quantum Physics: from 3D Anima;ons to Design and Applied Art
Julien Bobroff, Frédéric Bouquet Laboratoire de Physique des Solides, Université Paris Sud & CNRS Chaire « La Physique Autrement » ANR DESCITECH
• create new resources and explore new formats of outreach and teaching
• focus on quantum and condensed maOer physics
• test in general public acPons and teachings
• develop research about informal science, science of educaPon, science of design
The « Physics Reimagined » group www.PhysicsReimagined.com
physicists non-‐physicists
public
general public, high schools, students, teachers, medias…
designers, graphists, arPsts, teachers, science explainers, human sciences
The process
1) How to represent quantum physics phenomena for highschool students ? A basic visual aid to describe quantum phenomena • easy to use • with a common coherent graphical langage • appealing and « modern »
Choice of topics : basic quantum proper;es
duality quanPzaPon tunneling
metal & insulator spin laser
orbitals
Bose Einstein condensaPon ARPES
graphene and Dirac Cones
cristallography reciprocal space
pump-‐probe techniques
superposiPon of states
Choice of topics : recent research topics modern techniques
Visual strategy • short videos : 1-‐2mn • short legends (in french or english) • soundtrack but no voice • graphism à collaboraPon with graphic designers and
illustrators (DaFox) • accuracy : do the most you can, but not 100% and not
quanPtaPve (no simulaPon involved)
Visual strategy two separated spaces :
the « real » space the space for scienPfic interpretaPon & measurement
Bose Einstein condensaPon tunnel effect superposiPon of states

target audience • internet audience • science museums : families • outreach talks and outreach events (science fairs...)
goals • engage and seduce • help develop intuiPons and knowledge • iniPate discussions and informal learning • tell also about researchers and labs
Diffusion using networks
• teachers in french highschools
• physics community
• outreach community
• internet websites
• Youtube / Facebook / TwiOer
a few conclusions
• qualitaPve feedbacks but lack of quanPtaPve evaluaPon of the effecPveness of our producPons
• outreach and teaching may overlap : teaching is not only about explaining but also about engaging.
• a lot to learn from collaboraPons with designers, graphic designers and illustrators
• diffusion and sustainability are essenPal
