Beginning around 2022, I became the lead organizer for the The Quantum Information and Computation (QuIC) seminars at Michigan State University. These are a student-led, weekly seminar on quantum information science. Over the years we have held research talks and tutorials from researchers at various institutions, and on a variety of topics ranging from quantum foundations to public policy. See the main QuIC website for more information.
In our technological world, post-secondary learning can occur in a much more independent way than was ever possible before. For independent learners with internet access, there is often a wealth of information, but few resources for practice and even fewer for receiving feedback. Because of this, am writing guided solutions to Nielsen and Chuang's classic text on quantum computing, which is famous in the field. I seek to write my walked-through solutions in an engaging and easy-to-follow way. While sometimes I struggle just to get the solution correct, when I have brain power to spare I also try to write my solutions in a way that best suits the needs of an independent learner.
During my internship with the IBM Quantum Education team, I designed learning goals and guided problem sets to help independent learners through the Basics of Quantum Information Course. Although those problems have yet to be included on the new Learning Platform, I am proud that my badging exam is now available. I also wrote articles for a compendium of quantum algorithms, which is ongoing work by the education team.
