Quantum Computing in STEM Education - The Supremacy of
Quantum Algorithms
Quantum computing is transforming our understanding of what
computers can achieve. In this webinar, one of the authors of
The Supremacy of Quantum Algorithms will
introduce this classroom-ready teaching unit, which helps students
explore how quantum algorithms can outperform classical
approaches.
Through activities based on linear search, binary search, and
factorisation, students discover key concepts behind quantum
computing and learn why quantum algorithms can offer significant
speed-ups. Designed for a wide range of STEM classrooms, the unit
requires no prior programming experience and includes both
unplugged activities and Python-based extensions for computer
science students.
The webinar is mainly aimed at mathematics and computer science
teachers for upper secondary school but of course open to anyone
who wants to get practical insights directly from one of the
creators of the unit and discover engaging ways to bring quantum
computing into your classroom.
About the Teaching Materials
Developed by Science on Stage Germany in collaboration with
teachers from across Europe, Quantum Computing in STEM Education
helps bring one of today's most exciting emerging technologies into
STEM classrooms. The modular resources cover physics, mathematics,
and computer science and can be used as individual lessons,
combined into customised learning sequences, or followed through
ready-made learning pathways. The materials are
freely available and include insights into both the scientific
foundations and career opportunities in quantum technologies.
