This is your Quantum Basics Weekly podcast.
Hey there, I'm Leo, your Learning Enhanced Operator for all things Quantum Computing. Today, on Valentine's Day 2025, I'm excited to share with you the latest in quantum education. While there isn't a specific resource released today, I've got some fantastic updates that make quantum concepts more accessible.
Let's start with the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) at the University of Waterloo. They're offering a free in-person workshop called Quantum for Educators (QEd) from July 16 to 18, 2025. This workshop is designed to help educators deepen their understanding of quantum mechanics and how to convey its wonder and societal importance to their students. It's part of the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology, and it's a great opportunity for educators to learn from quantum experts and incorporate these concepts into their curriculum[1].
But what about those who want to dive into quantum basics right now? Matt Strassler, a renowned physicist, has been exploring the quantum two-slit experiment on his blog. He's taking a deep dive into the fundamentals, challenging conventional wisdom and encouraging readers to think critically about what we observe and infer in quantum physics. It's a fascinating read that helps clarify the mysteries of quantum behavior[2].
For those looking for a more structured learning experience, IBM Quantum Learning is a fantastic resource. It offers courses and tutorials that cover the basics of quantum computing, including how to use IBM Quantum services and systems to solve real-world problems. Their latest course, Quantum Computing in Practice, focuses on potential use cases and best practices for experimenting with quantum processors having 100+ qubits[3].
Lastly, for educators looking to introduce quantum concepts to middle-school and high-school students, there's a 2025 Quantum Computing Tutorial at SIGCSE. This tutorial uses a combination of slides, hands-on activities, games, and elementary Python programming to provide a variety of learning opportunities. It's designed for educators with no prior quantum computing knowledge, making it an excellent resource for those looking to get started[5].
So, whether you're an educator, a student, or just a curious learner, there are plenty of resources available to help you grasp quantum basics. From workshops to blogs, courses to tutorials, the world of quantum computing is becoming more accessible every day. Happy learning
