QC Education/Outreach Quantum Computing Education Tool

3 Upvotes

I have the idea of a quantum computing education tool that has simulations to make understanding of the concepts easier. Would you think it is a good idea?

Question How would you teach BB84 through a simple game?

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm an undergraduate studying the foundations of quantum technology. For one of my assignments, I have to present a quantum communication protocol (BB84, E91, BBM92, etc.), and instead of making a regular presentation, I want to build a small game around one of them.

The part I'm struggling with is teaching the concept through gameplay. The target audience is college students with little background in quantum mechanics, so the game needs to be simple while still conveying the core idea of the protocol.

Has anyone come across good examples or have ideas on how to design the gameplay? I'd really appreciate any suggestions on mechanics, analogies, or ways to make the learning feel intuitive.
