Teaching modern quantum computing concepts using hands-on open-source software at all levels

Quantum computing technologies have seen dramatic developments in the last few decades. Parallel to these developments, the availability of open-source software for simulating quantum computing experiments has paved the way to enhancing quantum computing education with hands-on exercises. In this talk, we discuss how these developments also expand the reach of quantum computing education from the traditional undergraduate and graduate level to the high school level. We also demonstrate open-source software for teaching more recent experimental developments in quantum computing, such as the demonstration of quantum error correction primitives. Throughout the talk, we outline ways to supplement existing curricula with these tools to supplement quantum computing education with hands-on experimentation by students.
