Renewal of Quantum Information Education, the "Quantum Entanglement Teaching Machine" successfully delivered to Tongji University
In April 2023, the Ministry of Education announced the filing and approval results of undergraduate majors in ordinary higher education institutions for the year 2022, a total of 5 new universities in China have opened the "Quantum Information Science" program.Since "Quantum Information Science" was officially listed as a undergraduate major in 2020, many domestic universities have actively carried out the construction and teaching of quantum information related majors under the promotion of national policies.
Recent days, the "Quantum Entanglement Teaching Machine" of Qasky Quantum has been successfully delivered to the School of Physical Science and Engineering of Tongji University, providing further support for its quantum information talent cultivation.
This delivery is fully supported by the education team of Hefei Quantachip Technology Co., Ltd. (a wholly-owned subsidiary of Qasky Quantum), after completing the on-site deployment of the teaching machine, members of the education team actively conducted training and teaching discussions with the college teachers on the morning of the 15th regarding the operation and use of the teaching machine, experimental course teaching, and other content, and implemented the teaching support work.
After the completion of teaching and research work, the "Quantum Entanglement Experiment Course", led by the education team engineer Tang Xincai, officially began that afternoon. The course is aimed at students from the School of Physical Science and Engineering at Tongji University, and provides a detailed explanation of the concept and principle of quantum entanglement, calibration and debugging of optical devices, construction of testing optical paths, and measurement experiments of entanglement characteristics. This special experimental course not only lays the foundation for students to learn quantum entanglement, but also lays the groundwork for college teachers to carry out the teaching work of quantum entanglement experimental courses in the future.
Tongji University has a long history and a distinguished reputation. It is a world-class university directly under the Ministry of Education and jointly built with Shanghai. After 116 years of development, Tongji University has become a comprehensive, research-oriented, and international university with distinct characteristics and significant influence at home and abroad. Among them, the college of Physical Science and Engineering has cultivated a group of outstanding talents while constructing a disciplinary development model characterized by the “combination of theoretical research and experimental research”、“mechanism research and device development”. Quantum information education and the cultivation of quantum information technology talents also require a close combination of theoretical and experimental teaching.
Since its establishment in 2018, Quantachip Technology has been focusing on quantum information education. While innovating and developing quantum information experimental instruments such as quantum entanglement teaching machines, quantum optical simulation laboratories, and QKD teaching machines, at the same time, a comprehensive educational support system covering teacher training, laboratory construction, and off campus practice has also been established. For many years, it has supported the construction of the quantum information discipline in many universities across the country. In the future, the education team will continue to support the cultivation of quantum information talents in the college of Physical Science and Engineering of Tongji University based on the support system.
Introduction to Quantum Entanglement Teaching Machine
Quantum entanglement teaching machine is an integrated experimental teaching toolbox designed specifically for senior undergraduate or junior graduate students. It is based on the core resources of quantum entanglement, using a combination of virtual simulation and entities, and designing a series of gradient difficulty experiments to improve students' hands-on ability while allowing them to understand basic quantum phenomena. The well-equipped experimental lecture materials, courseware, and operation videos for teaching machines can assist colleges with professional backgrounds in physics, optics, communication, and other fields in universities to quickly offer quantum optics or quantum physics experimental courses. This is a low-cost solution specifically designed for quantum information classroom teaching demonstrations and student hands-on learning.
