This summer the Rutgers QuarkNet Center held two workshops on quantum computing for high school teachers, a two-week introductory workshop quantum computing attended by twenty high school teachers and and a one-week workshop attended by twelve high school teachers. The emphasis of the introductory workshop was on introducing the basic concepts of quantum mechanics and quantum computing and on developing methods for introducing this material into the high school classroom. The teachers gained experience using IBM’s Qiskit framework to program actual quantum computers.

This summer The Rutgers QuarkNet Center held a two-week workshop with a three-hour session each day on quantum computing attended by twenty-two high school teachers. The emphasis of the workshop was on introducing the basic concepts of quantum mechanics and quantum computing and developing methods for introducing this material into the high school classroom. The teachers also gained experience on using IBM’s Qiskit utility to program actual quantum computers.
