Introduction to Quantum Information Science for Curriculum Design credit:

3 Hours

The first in a series of two physics curriculum design courses on quantum information science for in-service high school physics educators. Teachers will be introduced to quantum information science and technology concepts such as entanglement and quantum bits. They will co-develop lesson ideas that integrate quantum concepts into standard curricula, with one class per week dedicated to collaborative activities. Evaluation will be based on lesson-associated handouts, worksheets, self-reflections, and lesson plan documentation. Prerequisite: For students in the Masters of Science in Teaching of Physics program, or consent of the instructor.
