INFORMATION ABOUT THE SMALL IDEA
Quantum > Phenomena and applications > Macroscopic quantum phenomena and applications
Quantum phenomena dominate the atomic and subatomic word, but several phenomena at the macroscopic scale reveal quantum behavior. The most outstanding examples are superfluidity and superconductivity. Quantum physics has several application in technology such as such as quantum computing, quantum sensing, quantum cryptography and quantum imaging.
Connection to Big Idea about particles: Many applications in our lives, like lasers, quantum computers, electronic microscopes, CDs, DVDs, MIR scans and many others are based in the quantum properties of microscopic particles. The photoelectric effect (according to which light can interact with matter) was the first phenomenon observed that demonstrated the macroscopic effects of quantum phenomena.

About
PLATON is a two-year European project launched on September 2016. It aspires to provide teachers and school communities with a coherent teachers’ training framework which will update their current teaching practices. More particularly, PLATON aims to offer an open and innovative training framework to teachers of primary and secondary education which will focus on:
- Promoting student-centred teaching approaches;
- Promoting a holistic interdisciplinary approach;
- Support the use of online educational tools;
- Support the meaningful collaboration between teachers of the same school.
