Quantum Computing Introduction

Gennady P. Chuiko, Yevhen S. Darnapuk, Polins Kravchenko

This educational module provides an accessible introduction to quantum computing and is designed as the first practicum in a broader series. The presentation covers the fundamental concepts required to understand the principles and potential of quantum computation, including qubits, superposition, entanglement, decoherence, quantum gates, the Bloch sphere, and measurement. It also introduces current hardware platforms such as superconducting, trapped‑ion, and photonic qubits. The module explains the structure of quantum circuits, the role of unitary operations, and the significance of quantum parallelism and quantum advantage. It includes visual metaphors (such as Schrödinger’s cat), conceptual diagrams, and examples of real-world quantum processors. The presentation also addresses common misconceptions about quantum computers and outlines ethical, social, and educational challenges associated with the development of quantum technologies. Version 0.3 includes improved structure, updated terminology, expanded explanations of quantum gates, and a fully revised English-language adaptation suitable for international audiences. The material is intended for students, educators, and early‑stage researchers entering the field of quantum information science.

Bit commitment as an introduction to quantum cryptography

Tim Lethen

Abstract This paper analyzes some of the drawbacks of Bennett & Brassard’s quantum key distribution protocol when used in an educational setting introducing components of quantum cryptography. We propose to utilize a quantum bit commitment protocol instead in order to avoid the outlined difficulties. Additionally, we present implementations of the latter protocol in two different programming paradigms which may either be used as a practical demonstration tool for holding a quantum bit ballot, or as a means to foster an in-depth understanding of the cryptographic protocol amongst pupils with a background in computer science.

On-premises superconducting quantum computer for education and research

Jami Rönkkö, Olli Ahonen, Ville Bergholm +13 more

Abstract With a growing interest in quantum technology globally, there is an increasing need for accessing relevant physical systems for education and research. In this paper we introduce a commercially available on-site quantum computer utilizing superconducting technology, offering insights into its fundamental hardware and software components. We show how this system can be used in education to teach quantum concepts and deepen understanding of quantum theory and quantum computing. It offers learning opportunities for future talent and contributes to technological progress. Additionally, we demonstrate its use in research by replicating some notable recent achievements.
