Quantum for Educators notes and lessons
Bring quantum to your classroom, club, or home with ready-made lesson plans and activities. Introduced at Quantum for Educators, these lesson plans have been developed for high-school classrooms by quantum experts from IQC with feedback from experienced educators.
Topics covered include superposition, quantum measurement, quantum communication, quantum computing, wave-particle duality and the uncertainty principle. Students will learn:
- quantum cryptography through studying light polarization,
- how to implement a simple quantum algorithm with laser light,
- how we can use quantum uncertainty to make precise measurements, and more!
You can also find educator guides and materials for hands-on activities, including a 3D-printed laser-based quantum key distribution kit.
