Description
The rapid advancement of quantum technologies in recent years has emphasized the need to incorporate quantum mechanics into education at various levels. However, introducing complex concepts such as entanglement, macroscopicity or quantum cryptography at the high school level remains a challenge, since they rely on advanced notions in algebra. In this workshop, we present hands-on and kinaesthetic activities to overcome that challenge and make such concepts easy to visualize and understand. The activities require minimal materials and are designed to be accessible to students without prior mathematical knowledge, making them straightforward to implement in classrooms.
