Abstract
Teacher education forms the decisive link between physics education research and the realization of research results in school. The actions of teachers are influenced by their own experience from school, from study at university and the need to follow the school curriculum. Discrepancies between these factors have to be overcome. In quantum physics, the gap between teaching traditions at university, recent experimental results and the possibilities of teaching at school is especially big. Therefore it seems desirable to study this gap in detail in order to diminish it within given resources.
