  The aim of this thesis is to bridge the gap between the world of physics
research and secondary education on contemporary quantum physics. We fostered
the creation of a generative learning environment formed by quantum physics
researchers, high school physics teachers and student. The result was the
development of an teaching approach to the core ideas of quantum physics
(quantum states, superposition and measurement) that has been used to design
and implement teaching-learning activities in regular high school lessons.
