Abstract: Quantum theory has shaped our scientific world view like no other theory. As a foundation for understanding current and, in particular, future quantum technologies, quantum literacy is becoming increasingly important for society as a whole. Accordingly, it is also gaining significance in secondary education. In this context, Quantum Information Science and Technology offer opportunities for promising modern teaching approaches. In the first part of the talk, general aspects, ideas and contemporary approaches for teaching key aspects of quantum physics in secondary education will be discussed, taking into account the current state of quantum education research. Based on this analysis, a teaching concept with reference to quantum computing was developed with the aim of teaching key aspects of quantum physics to lower secondary students without relying on mathematical formalism. The approach was evaluated in a field study in collaboration with numerous German schools. The second part of the talk will outline the approach and discuss respective study results.

Abstract:QCamp is a one-week summer school for curious and inquisitive minds who wish to explore and understand the physical laws that govern the world's smallest scales: quantum physics. The scope of QCamp is to provide vivid demonstrations of these laws, offer career advice, as well as to help students build a technical foundation for independent exploration of this world. QCamp is organised by the Centre for Quantum Technologies (CQT) at the National University of Singapore.
 

The one-day Flash QCamp for curious and inquisitive minds to get a taster in quantum technologies.

Quantum ThermoDynamics (QTD) 2025 will cover the study of thermal processes at the quantum scale. This is the 2025 edition of the annual quantum thermodynamics conference: previous conferences have been held in Berlin (2013),  Mallorca (2014) and Porquerolles (2015), Erice (2016), Oxford (2017), Santa Barbara (2018), Espoo (2019), Barcelona (online, 2020), Geneva (online, 2021), Belfast (online, 2022), Vienna (2023), and Maryland (2024).
