Using the Julia framework to teach quantum entanglement

Shlomo Kashani, Zaret, David

Entanglement, a phenomenon that has puzzled scientists since its discovery, has been extensively studied by many researchers through both theoretical and experimental aspect of both quantum information processing (QIP) and quantum mechanics (QM). But how can entanglement be most effectively taught to computer science students compared to applied physics students?. in this educational pursuit, we propose using Yao.jl, a quantum computing framework written in Julia for teaching entanglement to graduate computer science students attending a quantum computing class at Johns Hopkins University. David Mermin's just enough QM for them to understand and develop algorithms in quantum computation [Mer98, Mer03] idea aligns with the purpose of this work. Additionally, the authors of the study Improving students understanding of QM via the Stern-Gerlach experiment (SGE) argue that this experiment should be a key part of any QM education. Here, we explore the concept of entanglement and it's quantification in various quantum information processing experiments, including one inequality-free form of Bell's theorem: (1) Superposition via the Hadamard, (2) Bell-state generation and (3) GHZ state generation. The utilisation of circuit diagrams and code fragmentsis a central theme in this work's philosophy.

Investigating Students' Strengths and Difficulties in Quantum Computing

Tunde Kushimo, Beth Ann Thacker

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/reliable 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 and adoption of evidence-based materials and pedagogies to support the education of the next generation of quantum information scientists and workforce. At our university, we introduced an introductory course in Quantum Computing to undergraduate students and conducted a case study to investigate 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 topics that are difficult to comprehend. We conducted a series of interviews to identify these strengths and difficulties. This investigation is essential to help train the next generation of quantum scientists and researchers because it gives information and direction to quantum computing education, and it also helps us to develop research-based teaching and learning materials. 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.

Implementing Shor’s algorithm in a quantum computing simulation environment for educational purposes

Syed Muhammad Muneeb Ali, Monika Wolfmayr

This article presents a detailed implementation of Shor’s quantum factoring algorithm, which served as the cornerstone for a pilot project at Jamk University of Applied Sciences. The primary goal was to leverage this significant algorithm to establish and validate a reusable quantum simulation environment on a high-performance computing (HPC) platform. We report the successful factorization of the integer 15, executed on the Finnish CSC’s MAHTI supercomputer using a 9-qubit quantum circuit developed in the Qiskit framework. This work provides a comprehensive overview of the principles behind Shor’s algorithm and a methodical breakdown of its simulation. Furthermore, it documents the practical software challenges faced during the environment’s configuration, focusing on library versioning and dependencies. The purpose of this work is to provide a systematic introduction to implement Shor’s algorithm at computer science or applied mathematics classes in institutions of higher education such as universities of applied sciences. The successful factorization provides an initial validation of the simulation workflow for this benchmark case, while the detailed account of implementing Shor’s algorithm offers a practical guide and valuable insights for future quantum computing initiatives at educational institutions with a focus on computer science or scientific computing.
