Guangtian Zhu, Jie Yang, Zhenke QIN
In recent years, the U.S. government has strengthened its investment in quantum science and education through executive orders and budget adjustments. Understanding how the National Science Foundation (NSF) supports quantum education is of profound significance for China to respond to global technological competition. This study has collected all current NSF-funded research projects related to quantum education and analyzed the content of these projects. The results show that quantum education research in the United States covers all levels of education from K-12 to universities. The focus of research has shifted from the physical theory teaching of the “first quantum revolution” to the practical application teaching of quantum information in the “second quantum revolution”, with particular emphasis on the direct connection between educational research and the quantum information labor market.
