White House OSTP and NSF Host Event

February 2, 2022 | Comments Off on White House OSTP and NSF Host Event

Yesterday, the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy’s (OSTP) National Quantum Coordination Office (NQCO) and the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) – in coordination with the National Q-12 Education Partnership – convened educators and leaders in Quantum Information Science and Technology (QIST) to explore training and education opportunities for America’s future QIST workforce. Furthering a […]

QIS in K-12?

January 31, 2022 | Comments Off on QIS in K-12?

So what exactly would Quantum Information Science look like in K-12?  Good question and I don’t think we have all the answers yet, but we are working on it. A group of teachers, professors, scientists, and professionals recently posted a framework for K-12 quantum education. The framework is an expansion of the original QIS Key […]

Quantum Games

January 28, 2022 | Comments Off on Quantum Games

A few years ago several of us were working on a manipulative for QKD.  I felt that it needed to be something more than just writing numbers on paper or a simulation, but the students needed a hands-on activity.  The first iterations of my idea came in the form of a folder with cardstock cutouts, […]

Which quantum revolution are you in?

April 7, 2021 | Comments Off on Which quantum revolution are you in?

Yep, we are in the 2nd quantum revolution. Did you miss the first one? The first quantum revolution occurred nearly a century ago!! It led to the 20th-century technological revolution, which was based on the transistor, laser, and atomic clock which gave us computers, optical fiber communication, and the global positioning system. Even things we consider “life changing” […]

Science, Space, and Technology

March 29, 2021 | Comments Off on Science, Space, and Technology

At a press conference on March 26, 2021, Biden said, “The future lies in who can, in fact, own the future as it relates to technology, quantum computing, a whole range of things, including in medical fields,” adding that he would focus on investing in “industries of the future.” A new bill The Endless Frontier […]

NSF Awards Funds for ITEST Project

March 17, 2021 | Comments Off on NSF Awards Funds for ITEST Project

We are extremely excited to announce that the ITEST project, Preparing Secondary Teachers and Students for Quantum Information Science has been approved by the National Science Foundation. Over the course of 3 years the project will focus on preparing HS teachers to teach STEM through the lens of quantum mechanics. The project will include online […]

Not everyone has to be a quantum scientist…

March 7, 2021 | Comments Off on Not everyone has to be a quantum scientist…

There have been some great workshops, sessions, and discussion over the past few weeks regarding the importance of quantum in our current and future environment. The reasons are numerous as to why we need to teach students K-12 about quantum, but do they all need to be quantum experts? No, but they do need to […]

Power of Quantum Computing and the Two Golden Rules of Quantum Mechanics

March 1, 2021 | Comments Off on Power of Quantum Computing and the Two Golden Rules of Quantum Mechanics

We are partnering with Texas Section AAPT by providing 2 workshops (1.5 hrs each) on the Power of Quantum Computing (i.e. Deutsch-Jozsa Algorithm) and the Two Golden Rules of Quantum Mechanics. The Power of Quantum Computing workshop will use the concept of an interferometer to demonstrate this algorithm, showing the gain in efficiency from quantum […]

NSF Workshop on Quantum Engineering Education

February 25, 2021 | Comments Off on NSF Workshop on Quantum Engineering Education

Q2Work hosted a workshop Feb. 24 at 12:30-4:00 pm Eastern Time/11:30-3:00 pm Central Time. This workshop, Systemic Change in QIS Education, was primarily aimed at people working on designing, implementing, and/or scaling quantum education programs. My role in the workshop was to share some of the efforts being made to increase awareness of quantum in […]

Advancing Quantum Education

December 23, 2020 | Comments Off on Advancing Quantum Education

This Dear Colleague Letter (DCL) encourages submission of proposals for projects that will motivate and prepare students for quantum industries of the future. The National Science Foundation (NSF) is interested in preparation of students for quantum information science and engineering (QISE) at all levels and in all settings, both formal and informal.
