This article explores methodological aspects of teaching quantum mechanics in higher education within the framework of physics and mathematics programs. Particular attention is given to the challenge’s students face in mastering fundamental concepts due to the high level of abstraction inherent in the subject. The hydrogen atom model is considered as a focal example – being both conceptually significant and visually illustrative in demonstrating the principles of quantum theory.

The core emphasis is placed on the interpretation of the wave function and its physical meaning through the concept of probability density. Methods for visualizing electron wave states are discussed, alongside graphical representations of probability densities corresponding to various quantum numbers. The relationship between the analytical solutions of the Schrodinger equation and the physical interpretation of these results is substantiated.

Special attention is also devoted to developing students’ understanding of the probabilistic nature of quantum systems, as well as their ability to apply mathematical tools for modeling and interpreting quantum states. Didactic approaches are proposed to enhance students’ abstract thinking and intuitive grasp of quantum principles.
