The Role of Quantum Software Simulators in the Formation of a Methodological Framework for Teaching Quantum Computing

Abstract

The article is devoted to the urgent problem of developing and implementing a mechanism for teaching quantum computing using quantum software simulators in the educational environment of a university. A serious barrier to the development of quantum computing is the insufficient number of qualified specialists who are able to work with new computing technologies. The article discusses approaches to the formation of a methodological basis for teaching this scientific and technical direction. Special attention is paid to the use of quantum software simulators, which allow for training using classical computing devices. Acquiring practical skills in working with quantum algorithms, including their modeling on software simulators for running on classical devices, is the main educational task in studying approaches to quantum computing.
The approach proposed by the author to integrate quantum computing into the educational environment makes it possible to form training courses on quantum computing with a focus on practical application in various subject areas. The availability of tools, interactivity and flexibility (support for various programming languages and integration with other tools and libraries) allow using the proposed mechanism in the development of training materials of various levels of complexity and orientation, making learning accessible to a wider audience.
