Teaching Quantum Computing to High School Students

Understand

Quantum computing is a growing field at the intersection of physics and computer science.

• The goal of this article is to highlight a successfully trialled quantum computing course for high school students between the ages of 15 and 18 years old.
• This course bridges the gap between popular science articles and advanced undergraduate textbooks.
• Conceptual ideas in the text are reinforced with active learning techniques, such as interactive problem sets and simulation-based labs at various levels.
