What is it?

This is a glossary of quantum physics concepts aimed at non-experts, informal audiences. It includes animations, illustrations, audio clips, and interactive learning materials, all of which can be re-used/embedded via a creative commons license. The project is intended to help non-experts get a feel for some of the concepts that commonly appear in popular media or news coverage. The project’s content and design has been evaluated by Rockman et. al.

How can you use it?

The Quantum Atlas is free to access and does not require an account. All entries and interactives can be access through your browser.
