Learning Quantum Computing: An Interaction Protocol for Quantum Computing Interfaces
This work considers that science is mixed with technology without a clear distinction between the underlying mathematics and physics concepts in this documentation, and considers that this must be addressed in order to create proper learning environments that go beyond performing calculations without facilitating the understanding of the core of quantum computing concepts.
Abstract
Though research on quantum computing continues at a good pace, learning quantum computing requires a deep and clear level of knowledge of a range of domains that diverge from classical computer science. There are not quantum computing interfaces that facilitate learning this new paradigm, only those to illustrate some quantum computations with some accompanying documentation. Moreover, in this documentation, science is mixed with technology without a clear distinction between the underlying mathematics and physics concepts. We consider that this must be addressed in the first place in order to create proper learning environments that go beyond performing calculations without facilitating the understanding of the core of quantum computing concepts and their implications. This is a new research line, dealing with the design of quantum computing interfaces integrating science and technology.
