Abstract
Quantum computing is a growing field at the intersection of physics and
computer science. This module introduces three of the key principles that
govern how quantum computers work: superposition, quantum measurement, and
entanglement. The goal of this module is to bridge the gap between popular
science articles and advanced undergraduate texts by making some of the more
technical aspects accessible to motivated high school students. Problem sets
and simulation based labs of various levels are included to reinforce the
conceptual ideas described in the text. This is intended as a one week course
for high school students between the ages of 15-18 years. The course begins by
introducing basic concepts in quantum mechanics which are needed to understand
quantum computing.
