Description
Historically quantum education has been focused within physics at the upper-level undergraduate and graduate level. As we move into the second quantum revolution and look to expand understanding of quantum and prepare today’s students for the broad range of jobs in the field, we will need to educate students earlier and with a variety of STEM backgrounds. We have surveyed and interviewed undergraduate STEM students to understand what they know about quantum and the ways in which the subject interests them. We will discuss both the opportunities and barriers presented by students interests and understanding. We will also discuss work that we have been doing to introduce teachers and high school students to quantum concepts.
