Description
Abstract. Quantum information requires a different way of thinking and sets a challenge to science education. One amazing characteristic of quantum algorithms is to deliver results with 100% certainty despite the probabilistic nature of quantum mechanics in which they are based on. In the proposed workshop, two educational routines based on quantum cryptography protocols (BB84 and Ek91) are presented as a hands-on activity. The procedures use tokens called MACROBITS and are designed so the logic involved in quantum key distribution can be grasped by the audience. The workshop aims to perform a transmission of a short message between two participants.
