“…The software was tested in schools and found to be suitable for teaching quantum physics and computing from the age of 12 and above. The results of the research study 118 show that the Quantum Odyssey visual methods are efficient in portraying counter-intuitive quantum computational logic in a visual and interactive form. This enabled untrained participants to quickly grasp difficult concepts in an intuitive way and solve problems that are traditionally given today in master's level courses in a mathematical form.…”

We provide an extensive overview of a wide range of quantum games and interactive tools that have been employed by the quantum community in recent years. We present selected tools as described by their developers, including "Hello Quantum, Hello Qiskit, Particle in a Box, Psi and Delta, QPlayLearn, Virtual Lab by Quantum Flytrap, Quantum Odyssey, ScienceAtHome, and the Virtual Quantum Optics Laboratory." In addition, we present events for quantum game development: hackathons, game jams, and semester projects. Furthermore, we discuss the Quantum Technologies Education for Everyone (QUTE4E) pilot project, which illustrates an effective integration of these interactive tools with quantum outreach and education activities. Finally, we aim at providing guidelines for incorporating quantum games and interactive tools in pedagogic materials to make quantum technologies more accessible for a wider

“…In one study set in the United Kingdom, researchers found that using a computer puzzle game to teach students aged 11 to 18 to construct algorithms for use with quantum computers resulted in greater interest in quantum physics and curiosity to learn the mathematics behind quantum computing [41]. Seskir and colleagues [42] reviewed a range of quantum games and other interactive tools used to teach quantum concepts across STEM disciplines, noting that games have the potential to reach students beyond traditional educational settings.…”

Quantum science and computing represent a vital intersection between science and technology, gaining increasing importance in modern society. There is a pressing need to incorporate these concepts into the K-12 curriculum, equipping new generations with the tools to navigate and thrive in an evolving technological landscape. This study explores the professional learning of K-12 teachers (n = 49) related to quantum concepts and pedagogy. We used open-ended surveys, field notes, workshop artifacts, and interviews to examine teachers’ perceptions of quantum and how they made connections between quantum and their curriculum. Our data reveal that most teachers were excited and interested in teaching quantum but were aware of potential barriers and concerns that might get in the way of teaching quantum. We found that teachers readily identified connections to math and science in their curriculum, but only a few made connections to computing. Enthusiasm for teaching quantum concepts was found in both elementary and secondary educators, suggesting a widespread recognition of its importance in preparing students for a future where quantum technology is a fundamental aspect of their lives and careers.

“…An exhaustive analysis of the most outstanding tools in this field can be found in Seskir et al (2022). In this review, quantum games such as Hello Quantum, Particle in a Box Anupam et al (2018), QPlayLearn, Virtual Lab by Quantum Flytrap Migdał et al (2022), Quantum Odyssey Nita et al (2021), ScienceAtHome and Virtual Quantum Optics Laboratory La Cour et al (2022) are discussed. All these games deal with different technical aspects of quantum physics such as quantum gates, quantum circuits, ultracold atoms or photons among others.…”
