Effective Materials for Teaching Quantum Information Science

Poster-In-person  · Withdrawn

Abstract

Interest in quantum information science (QIS) is increasing rapidly. At Brigham Young University, students from a variety of disciplines are seeking opportunities to participate in this growing field. In order to help meet this demand, we are developing a QIS course designed for the motivated undergraduate student. We describe the process of developing this course in the poster by Morford \textit{et al.} at this conference. An effective curriculum is key to the success of this course. In this poster, we present a sample of course activities. These activities will follow a steady progression in order to optimize effective learning. In succession, these materials consist of: appropriately selected reading and viewing materials, associated quiz questions, modular lecture notes, in-class activities, homework assignments, project guidance, and assessments with a summative and a formative purpose. We present specific examples of the course material and welcome feedback from the audience.
