The Quantum Mechanics Conceptual Survey (QMCS) is a 12-question survey ofstudents' conceptual understanding of quantum mechanics. It is intended to beused to measure the relative effectiveness of different instructional methodsin modern physics courses. In this paper we describe the design and validationof the survey, a process that included observations of students, a review ofprevious literature and textbooks and syllabi, faculty and student interviews,and statistical analysis. We also discuss issues in the development of specificquestions, which may be useful both for instructors who wish to use the QMCS intheir classes and for researchers who wish to conduct further research ofstudent understanding of quantum mechanics. The QMCS has been most thoroughlytested in, and is most appropriate for assessment of (as a posttest only),sophomore-level modern physics courses. We also describe testing with studentsin junior quantum courses and graduate quantum courses, from which we concludethat the QMCS may be appropriate for assessing junior quantum courses, but isnot appropriate for assessing graduate courses. One surprising result of ourfaculty interviews is a lack of faculty consensus on what topics should betaught in modern physics, which has made designing a test that is valued by amajority of physics faculty more difficult than expected.
