“…Finally, the authors of the Delphi study [14] observe a great interest among the teachers surveyed in topics from research on quantum physics, such as quantum computers or quantum cryptography [14, p 186]. This is an interesting observation which supports the work from physics education research because there are several proposals to integrate current quantum technologies [17] into the teaching of quantum physics [18][19][20][21][22].…”

In an earlier contribution in Physics Education (Bitzenbauer and Meyn 2020 Phys. Educ. 55 055031), we presented a new teaching sequence on quantum optics on the secondary school level, and we reported on promising results of a first pilot study concerning its learning effectiveness. In the sense of design-based research, the developed teaching material is now being revised in several iteration steps and optimised through feedback from teachers from the field in order to favour the implementation of the new teaching approach to quantum physics in secondary schools. We present the design principles from the literature that our teaching material’s development is based on and report on a survey of physics teachers’ practical experiences with our teaching material.

“…Quantum physics education research has produced numerous visualization tools [85,90], online resources [91][92][93], and the so-called quantum games [85,[94][95][96]. Defined by Piispanen et al [97], quantum games can sometimes help students understand quantum phenomena and create intuition to quantum formalism [24].…”

The ongoing second quantum revolution and the growing impact of quantum technologies on our society and economy are making quantum physics education even more important. Consequently, there is a lot of research on quantum physics education for university students and even the general public. However, studying quantum physics or any other topic is primarily voluntary and thus a matter of personal interest—and it can only grow from a seed planted earlier. Here, we describe and test how a one-day event designed to trigger interest and change perceptions about quantum physics among physics and mathematics students at the University of Turku, Finland succeeded in meeting its goals. The data was collected from participants through questionnaires and complementary interviews. We found that the event made attitudes and views toward quantum physics more positive, versatile, and realistic. Although the event was too short to notably or permanently elevate the phase of interest when evaluated externally on a four-level scale, self-evaluations still reported an increased interest for most participants. Thus, it appears that even a short event can cultivate the ground to make it fertile for maintaining and developing interest further, for example, by well-designed and -timed quantum physics curriculum.

“…In this work, we take a game-based approach to these topics [20][21][22][23], where we follow that in [24]. There, a game was introduced that allows students to take on the role of quantum bits (qubits) and scientists, and discover the features and rules of the quantum world.…”

Encrypt me! A game-based approach to Bell inequalities and quantum cryptography

Recent progress in the development of quantum technologies, most notably in the context of quantum computing and cryptography, poses the question of whether and how to teach the modern and sophisticated underlying theory of quantum physics, and its applications, at school. To this end, we present a game-based approach to teach Bell inequalities and quantum cryptography at undergraduate level. The approach is based on kinesthetic activities and allows students to experience and discover quantum features and their applications first-hand. The students obtain the same results as if they were in a real laboratory performing sophisticated experiments such as Bell tests, without requiring expensive tools and facilities. Specifically, quantum states are represented by the orientation of students, who also play the role of quantum particles, and mimic quantitative random behaviour and measurements using dice and apps.
