Topic | %Undergraduate | % Graduate | p | \(p_{\mathrm{adj}}\) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Entropy (Shannon) | 26% | 49% | p<0.001 | \(p_{\mathrm{adj}} < 0.001\) |
Density matrices/mixed states | 63% | 82% | p = 0.002 | \(p_{\mathrm{adj}} = 0.004\) |
Entropy (von Neumann) | 26% | 44% | p = 0.011 | \(p_{\mathrm{adj}} = 0.033\) |
