Physics Colloquium
Preparing students for the quantum information revolution using research-validated tools
Dr. Chandralekha Singh
Distinguished Professor
University of Pittsburgh
Abstract:
In order to inspire future generations to pursue careers in quantum information science and technology (QIST), educators must play a key role in developing curricular materials and engaging their students using evidence-based approaches with core QIST concepts at appropriate levels in a variety of classes. As a physics education researcher, I will discuss these types of efforts I have been involved in. We thank the National Science Foundation for support.
