How to teach quantum mechanics to 15,000 nonscientists

We describe a recently launched MOOC on EdX called Quantum Mechanics For Everyone which has emerged as the highest rated quantum MOOC on coursetalk. The course uses the Feynman/Styer methodology to teach complex quantum ideas like the delayed choice experiment, the quantum eraser, the EPR experiment, Bell's inequality experiments, the two-slit experiment, interaction-free measurements, and the Hong-Ou-Mandel effect through a series of lectures, interactive text, and computer-based simulations and tutorials. Students actively engage with the material and emerge from the course with an ability to describe complex quantum phenomena. The math background involves only high school algebra. We show some of the innovative features of the course and discuss basic guidelines for others trying to teach complex physics ideas to the public through MOOC vehicles.
