论文摘要
量子计算是一个令人兴奋的领域，它借鉴了信息理论，计算机科学，数学和量子物理学，以从根本上新的方式处理信息。正在进行的竞赛来开发实用的量子计算机并增加量子劳动力。这需要伴随量子计算计划，课程和课程的制定，再加上基于证据的教学材料的开发，以支持下一代量子信息科学家的教育。我们介绍了量子计算的入门课程，以便在学习介绍性课程后，研究这些学生在量子计算方面的优势和困难。我们的目标是为改善量子计算教育做出贡献，同时了解学生认为易于理解的主题以及难以理解的主题。我们进行了一系列访谈，以确定学生的这些优势和困难。我们报告了这些访谈的结果以及有关开发循证材料的最初工作，以教授量子计算的入门课程。
Quantum Computing is an exciting field that draws from information theory, computer science, mathematics, and quantum physics to process information in fundamentally new ways. There is an ongoing race to develop practical quantum computers and increase the quantum workforce. This needs to be accompanied by the development of quantum computing programs, courses, and curricula coupled with the development of evidence-based pedagogical materials to support the education of the next generation of quantum information scientists. We introduced an introductory course in quantum computing to undergraduate students and investigated the strengths and difficulties of these students in quantum computing after taking the introductory course. Our goal is to contribute to the improvement of quantum computing education while understanding the topics that the students find easy to comprehend and the topics that are difficult to comprehend. We conducted a series of interviews to identify these strengths and difficulties in the students. We report on the results of these interviews and our initial work on the development of evidence-based materials for teaching an introductory course in quantum computing.
