Secondary Education

Developing, studying and dissemination of

• courses in quantum technologies for general interest using web-based activities such as Virtual Quantum Lab (AR/VR applications) or simulations in combination with short explanatory video clips
• experimental materials to enable students’ first hands-on experiences in the area of quantum physics and quantum technologies (physical background, applications) for different educational levels (schools, bachelor and master level)
• teacher training courses on quantum technologies, and dissemination of the developed materials (Elementarization of QT-courses for schools and outreach activities)
• QT-concept tests and validation with eye-tracking measures

Tertiary Education

• Interdisciplinary QT-course for students in physics, comp. sciences and engineering (combining theoretical and experimental content with laboratory work; e.g. quantum cryptography, quantum computing etc.)
• Developing, studying and dissemination of experimental materials

All of these work issues are in close collaboration with or even performed by the participated or associated colleagues of the physics, comp. science and engineering department as well as DFKI, Fraunhofer ITWM.
