我们描述了量子密钥分配的量子交互式学习平台（QuILT）的发展，这涉及到量子力学的实际应用。QuILT帮助高年级本科生使用简单的两态系统学习量子力学，并根据认知研究和物理教育研究的结果开发。QuILT中使用的一种协议涉及在公共信道上生成随机共享密钥，用于使用具有非正交偏振态的单光子对信息进行加密和解密，另一种协议使用两个纠缠的自旋1/2粒子。QuILT采用引导式方法，专注于帮助学生在不影响技术内容的情况下，在量子物理的形式主义和概念方面之间建立联系。我们还讨论了初步课堂评估的结果。
We describe the development of a Quantum Interactive Learning Tutorial (QuILT) on quantum key distribution, a context which involves a practical application of quantum mechanics. The QuILT helps upper-level undergraduate students learn quantum mechanics using a simple two state system and was developed based upon the findings of cognitive research and physics education research. One protocol used in the QuILT involves generating a random shared key over a public channel for encrypting and decrypting information using single photons with non-orthogonal polarization states, and another protocol makes use of two entangled spin-1/2 particles. The QuILT uses a guided approach and focuses on helping students build links between the formalism and conceptual aspects of quantum physics without compromising the technical content. We also discuss findings from a preliminary in-class evaluation.
