The challenge of Quantum Manifesto for science education: Designing a teaching module on quantum computers for secondary school students

摘要

Among the key activities of Quantum Manifesto there is the formation of a new generation of quantum technology professionals in Europe through focused education at the intersection of different STEM and socio-economical disciplines and by strengthening public awareness of key ideas and capabilities. How can young people be guided to grasp the essence, potential and social implications of new quantum technologies? This paper presents how the research group in physics education of the University of Bologna is addressing the challenge launched by Quantum Manifesto and is approaching the issue of designing teaching materials on quantum technologies aimed to enable secondary school students to grapple with the second quantum revolution.
