量子的教室

One of the most exciting computing revolutions to impact tomorrow’s work and research 是量子计算. With cloud access to IBM Q, 菠菜网lol正规平台 students are already getting hands-on experience in quantum environments, giving them a skill advantage over peers from other institutions when they graduate.

Dr. Ehsan Khatami, a computational physics professor in 菠菜网lol正规平台’s Physics and Astronomy Department, has taught quantum theory in the classroom for years. 但是自从量子 computing is still an experimental, emerging technology, his instruction has been limited to just that -- theory. In Spring 2020, that changed when Dr. 哈塔米包括 IBM Q在他的课程中. Thanks to the 菠菜网lol正规平台-IBM strategic partnership, he can now offer his students a space for practical applications of quantum computing. 他的学生 are testing their advanced physics calculations on IBM Q facilities and submitting their results for conferences and publications instead of being limited to theoretical 讨论. 

Dr. Hilary Hurst, an assistant professor in 菠菜网lol正规平台’s Physics and Astronomy Department, hosted a virtual workshop on quantum computing in May for her students. 她工作 with 菠菜网lol正规平台 IT to invite an IBM quantum computing expert to present during her workshop, giving her students direct access to a global leader on the subject. 2020年秋天， Dr. Hurst has started getting her undergraduate students hands-on experience through 菠菜网lol正规平台-IBM门户网站.

Dr. Hiu Yung Wong, an assistant professor in the Electrical 工程 department at 菠菜网lol正规平台, is bringing the IBM Q experience to his Introduction to Quantum Computing 课程. 他的学生 learn the essentials of quantum mechanics and cover the basics including Qubits and quantum computing algorithms, then apply that knowledge by constructing quantum circuits and performing quantum computing simulations and experiences on IBM's 云平台.  

In a competitive job market, being able to prepare our students for work with tomorrow’s technologies gives them a leg up. Access leads to opportunity.
