- Abstract: The high public attention given to quantum computing shows that it is
perceived as an interesting topic. We want to utilize this motivating effect
for the teaching and learning of quantum physics. Specifically, we want to take
advantage of the access to real quantum computers, which various providers make
available free of charge. We show a direct and straightforward way to use
quantum computers in an introductory course on quantum physics. We use an
algorithm that solves a simple and easily understandable problem while
providing a quantum advantage. The algorithm we propose is a simple game in
which the use of quantum physics offers a winning advantage. The game is called
Quantum Penny Flip and was proposed by David A. Meyer back in 1999. It can be
easily reformulated to be described by quantum gates. We can therefore use it
to teach the programming of a quantum computer. We demonstrate its
implementation in IBM's Quantum Composer.
