Victoria Borish; H. J. Lewandowski – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2023
Quantum mechanics is a field often considered very mathematical, abstract, and unintuitive. One way some instructors are hoping to help familiarize their students with these complex topics is to have the students see quantum effects in experiments in undergraduate instructional labs. Here, we present results from an interview study about what it…

Nita, Laurentiu; Mazzoli Smith, Laura; Chancellor, Nicholas; Cramman, Helen – Research in Science & Technological Education, 2023
Background: Knowledge of quantum computing is arguably inaccessible to many, with knowledge of the complex mathematics involving a particular barrier to entry, creating difficulty in terms of teaching and inclusive learning for those without a high level of mathematics. Meanwhile, it is increasingly important that the knowledge of quantum…

Borish, Victoria; Lewandowski, H. J. – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2023
As quantum information science and technology (QIST) is becoming more prevalent and occurring not only in research labs but also in industry, many educators are considering how best to incorporate learning about quantum mechanics into various levels of education. Although much of the focus has been on quantum concepts in nonlab courses, current…

Corsiglia, Giaco; Pollock, Steven; Passante, Gina – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2023
Broadly speaking, many physicists value intuition in their work, and many instructors hope their students develop intuition (while possibly being wary of their initial, unrefined intuitions). These considerations are especially relevant in quantum mechanics, a subject many see as counterintuitive because it is removed from classical everyday…

Bitzenbauer, Philipp; Zenger, Tim – Physics Teacher, 2022
Quantum physics is the basis for many technologies that are a fundamental part of our daily lives (e.g., lasers) or that may become so in the future (e.g., quantum cryptography and quantum computing). Because of this, quantum physics is now a central aspect of many countries' secondary school curricula. In this article, we present the design and…

Montagnani, Stefano; Stefanel, Alberto; Chiofalo, Maria Luisa Marilù; Santi, Lorenzo; Michelini, Marisa – Physics Education, 2023
Teaching and learning quantum mechanics is one of the most demanding educational and conceptual challenges, in particular in secondary schools where students do not possess an adequate mathematical background to effectively support the description of quantum behaviour. Educational research shows that traditional approaches, generally based on…

Walsh, Joel A.; Fenech, Mic; Tucker, Derrick L.; Riegle-Crumb, Catherine; La Cour, Brian R. – Physics Education, 2022
Quantum computing was once regarded as a mere theoretical possibility, but recent advances in engineering and materials science have brought practical quantum computers closer to reality. Currently, representatives from industry, academia, and governments across the world are working to build the educational structures needed to produce the…

Salehi, Ozlem; Seskir, Zeki; Tepe, Ilknur – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2022
Contribution: In this study, an alternative educational approach for introducing quantum computing to a wider audience is highlighted. The proposed methodology considers quantum computing as a generalized probability theory rather than a field emanating from physics and utilizes quantum programming as an educational tool to reinforce the learning…
