Description
Although learning Quantum Computing traditionally requires solid basics of quantum physics and mathematical tools, several national and international initiatives are trying to find innovative ways to introduce the main concepts already at high school level.
Combining visualization, engaging interface and a fundamental creative component, we believe that using games is one of the most effective ways to teach and inspire young minds.
We investigate two approaches: creating games for explaining fundamental concepts such as entanglement, measurements and gates; and creating tools to let people make their own games by using python and Qiskit, the free software development tool used to program Quantum Computers.
