Description

We present research on the development and initial implementation of hands-on demonstration material for quantum entanglement using electronically modified dice. These “Quantum Dice” are equipped with displays, orientation sensors, and wireless communication to simulate basic quantum physics concepts. The system supports various educational scenarios, from basic entanglement demonstrations to quantum key distribution experiments. We will share insights into the design and development of Quantum Dice and preliminary results on the implementation. Attendees will have the opportunity to interact with a prototype of the Quantum Dice and discuss the potential of Quantum Dice to facilitate reasoning about abstract quantum phenomena. Understanding the considerations made in our study can contribute to improving demonstration materials for quantum physics education.
