Educating K12 students and general public in quantum physics represents an evitable must no longer since quantum technologies are going to revolutionize our lives. Quantum literacy is a formidable challenge and an extraordinary opportunity for a massive cultural uplift, where citizens learn how to engender creativity and practice a new way of thinking, essential for smart community building. Scientific thinking hinges on analyzing facts and creating understanding, and it is then formulated with the dense mathematical language for later fact checking. Within classical physics, learners’ intuition may in principle be educated via classroom demonstrations of everyday-life phenomena. Their understanding can even be framed with the mathematics suited to their instruction degree. For quantum physics, on the contrary, we have no experience of quantum phenomena and the required mathematics is beyond non-expert reach. Therefore, educating intuition needs imagination. Without rooting to experiments and some degree of formal framing, educators face the risk to provide only evanescent tales, often misled, while resorting to familiar analogies. Here, we report on the realization of QPlayLearn, an online platform conceived to explicitly address challenges and opportunities of massive quantum literacy. QPlayLearn’s mission is to provide multilevel education on quantum science and technologies to anyone, regardless of age and background. To this aim, innovative interactive tools enhance the learning process effectiveness, fun, and accessibility, while remaining grounded on scientific correctness. Examples are games for basic quantum physics teaching, on-purpose designed animations, and easy-to-understand explanations on terminology and concepts by global experts. As a strategy for massive cultural change, QPlayLearn offers diversified content for different target groups, from primary school all the way to university physics students. It is addressed also to companies wishing to understand the potential of the emergent quantum industry, journalists, and policymakers needing to seize what quantum technologies are about, as well as all quantum science enthusiasts.

针对K12和普通大众的量子物理素养

由于量子技术将彻底改变我们的生活，因此不再需要在K12学生和普通大众中学习量子物理学。量子素养对于大规模的文化提升是一个艰巨的挑战，也是一个特殊的机会，在那里，公民学习如何激发创造力，并实践对智慧社区建设至关重要的新思维方式。科学思维取决于对事实的分析和创造理解，然后将其与密集的数学语言结合起来，以用于以后的事实检查。在古典物理学中，原则上讲，学习者的直觉可以通过课堂上展示的日常生活现象来进行教育。他们的理解甚至可以用适合其教学程度的数学来构架。相反，对于量子物理学，我们没有量子现象的经验，所需的数学超出了非专家的范围。因此，教育直觉需要想象力。如果没有扎根于实验和某种程度的形式框架，教育者将面临只提供e逝的故事的风险，而这些故事往往被误导，同时又诉诸于熟悉的类比。在此，我们将报告QPlayLearn的实现情况，QPlayLearn是一个旨在明确解决大规模量子素养挑战和机遇的在线平台。QPlayLearn的使命是为年龄和背景的所有人提供有关量子科学和技术的多层次教育。为了这个目标，创新的互动工具增强了学习过程的有效性，乐趣和可访问性，同时保持了科学正确性。例子是用于基本量子物理学教学的游戏，专门设计的动画，以及全球专家对术语和概念的易于理解的解释。作为大规模文化变革的战略，QPlayLearn为从小学到大学物理学生的不同目标群体提供了多样化的内容。还面向希望了解新兴量子产业潜力的公司，需要抓住量子技术的记者和决策者，以及所有量子科学爱好者。
