Measuring student understanding in quantum computing: Development and validation of the Quantum Computing Conceptual Survey
Josephine C. Meyer, Molly Griston, Gina Passante +2
Research-based assessments (RBAs) have proven to be valuable tools in PER, supporting both instructional reform and foundational research. In the rapidly-growing field of Quantum I…
Computer-generated QIS tutorial feedback is valued by students, but does not replicate in-class collaboration
Josephine C. Meyer, Steven J. Pollock, Bethany R. Wilcox +1
PER has consistently demonstrated the effectiveness of small-group tutorials in helping students develop conceptual understanding and fluency, but instructor uptake is limited by r…
Can a CNOT Gate Affect the Control Qubit? Student Resources for Understanding CNOT and Entanglement
Jonan-Rohi S. Plueger, Bethany R. Wilcox, Steven J. Pollock +1
The Controlled-Not (CNOT) gate is essential to algorithms in quantum computing for its ability to entangle qubits. As such, it is important to understand how students learning quan…
Assessing student learning in quantum computing: Lessons from developing a test item on phase kickback
Josephine C. Meyer, Steven J. Pollock, Bethany R. Wilcox +1
A major challenge for quantum workforce development is the need to both understand and reliably assess student learning of quantum information science (QIS) fundamentals. Yet stude…
Education for expanding the quantum workforce: Student perceptions of the quantum industry in an upper-division physics capstone course
Kristin A. Oliver, Victoria Borish, Bethany R. Wilcox +1
As quantum technologies transition out of the research lab and into commercial applications, it becomes important to better prepare students to enter this new and evolving workforc…
Disparities in access to US quantum information education
Josephine C. Meyer, Gina Passante, Bethany R. Wilcox
Driven in large part by the National Quantum Initiative Act of 2018, quantum information science (QIS) coursework and degree programs are rapidly spreading across US institutions.…
