Quantum information science is a rapidly growing interdisciplinary field that is attracting the attention of academics and industry experts alike. It requires talent from a wide variety of traditional fields, including physics, engineering, chemistry, and computer science, to name a few. To prepare students for such opportunities, it is important to give them a strong foundation in the basics of quantum information science, in which quantum computing plays a central role. In this study, we discuss the development, validation, and evaluation of a tutorial on the Bloch sphere, a useful visual tool for developing intuition about single quantum bits (qubits), which are the basic building block of any quantum computer. Students’ understanding was evaluated after they received traditional lecture-based instruction on the requisite topics, and again after engaging with the tutorial. We observe, analyze, and discuss their improvement in performance on concepts covered in the tutorial.

学生对布洛赫球的理解

量子信息科学是一个快速发展的跨学科领域，吸引了学术界和行业专家的关注。它需要来自各个传统领域的人才，包括物理、工程、化学和计算机科学等。为了让学生为此类机会做好准备，重要的是为他们奠定量子信息科学基础知识的坚实基础，而量子计算在量子信息科学中发挥着核心作用。在本研究中，我们讨论了布洛赫球教程的开发、验证和评估，布洛赫球是一种有用的视觉工具，可用于开发有关单量子位（量子位）的直觉，单量子位是任何量子计算机的基本构建块。在学生接受有关必要主题的传统讲座教学后，以及在参与教程后再次评估学生的理解程度。我们观察、分析和讨论他们在本教程中涵盖的概念方面的性能改进。
