摘要:

随着广泛的应用领域,现在有量子计算硬件可用于商业用途,教育挑战出现在让不同背景的人成为量子文学。Quantum Odyssey是一款新的计算机软件,它有望成为一种媒介,人们可以在没有任何先前要求的情况下学习量子计算。它的目标是通过视觉提示和益智游戏来实现这一目标,而不需要用户拥有计算机编码甚至线性代数的背景,而这些传统上是量子算法的必备条件。在本文中,我们报告了我们在UKRI公民科学基金中的发现,该基金涉及使用量子奥德赛来教授如何构建量子计算算法。课程包括30分钟的游戏,10组5名学生,年龄从11岁到18岁不等,在英国的两所学校。结果表明,量子奥德赛视觉方法是有效的描绘反直观的量子计算逻辑在一个可视化和交互式的形式。这使得未经训练的参与者能够以直观的方式快速掌握困难的概念,并以数学形式解决传统上在今天的硕士课程中给出的问题。结果还显示,玩游戏后对量子物理学的兴趣增加,对学习量子系统计算背后的数学有更高的开放性和好奇心。参与者发展了一种视觉而非数学直觉,使他们能够理解并正确回答入门级技术量子信息科学。

英文摘要:

With a vast domain of applications and now having quantum computing hardware available for commercial use, an education challenge arises in getting people of various background to become quantum literate. Quantum Odyssey is a new piece of computer software that promises to be a medium where people can learn quantum computing without any previous requirements. It aims to achieve this through visual cues and puzzle play, without requiring the user to possess a background in computer coding or even linear algebra, which are traditionally a must to work on quantum algorithms. In this paper we report our findings on an UKRI Citizen Science grant that involves using Quantum Odyssey to teach how to construct quantum computing algorithms. Sessions involved 30 minutes of play, with 10 groups of 5 students, ranging between 11 to 18 years old, in two schools in the UK. Results show the Quantum Odyssey visual methods are efficient in portraying counterintuitive quantum computational logic in a visual and interactive form. This enabled untrained participants to quickly grasp difficult concepts in an intuitive way and solve problems that are traditionally given today in Masters level courses in a mathematical form. The results also show an increased interest in quantum physics after play, a higher openness and curiosity to learn the mathematics behind computing on quantum systems. Participants developed a visual, rather than mathematical intuition, that enabled them to understand and correctly answer entry level technical quantum information science.
