Description
We present a possible route to introduce the key concepts of quantum superposition and entanglement to secondary school students and to the general public avoiding mathematical difficulties. Our narrative is based on the description of key experimental findings, starting from Stern-Gerlach and Feynman double-slit experiments to the experimental proof of the violation of Bell’s inequalities by 2022 Nobel prize winners. Furthermore, we exploit carefully chosen analogies and custom-made models to help visualisation and understanding. The narrative and the models have been successfully exploited in a public exhibition.
