Abstract
A possible strategy to introduce the basic formalism ofthe `Dirac formulation' of quantum mechanics without requiring an advanced mathematical or physical background is proposed, generalizing the description of a simple two-state system, namely the linear polarization of photons interacting with polaroids and birefringent crystals. The relation between physical observables and linear operators is discussed on both aconceptual and a formal level. A feasibility study has been performed in the final class of a Liceo.
