Abstract:
The purpose of this study is to review the main points of the experimental content of the basics of quantum
computer science adapted for lyceum students, based on the prospects of the quantum approach to information processing for ultra-fast calculations in modeling objects of complex dynamical systems. In addition, software tools and Internet services are offered to organize effective training. A survey was conducted among 26 computer science teachers to assess the relevance and feasibility of introducing a “Fundamentals of quantum informatics and programming” course for lyceum students. The proposed 17-hour sample module covers key concepts of quantum computing, quantum circuits, quantum gates, and basic quantum algorithms. Expected learning outcomes and methodological support are discussed. The study concludes that quantum computer science has significant potential and proposes starting to study its basics in the school computer science course in grades 10-11, using universal software and Internet services like IBM Quantum Experience and Jupyter Notebooks with Python.
