• Abstract: Quantum computing is a highly abstract scientific discipline, which, however, is expected to have great practical relevance in future information technology. This forces educators to seek new methods to teach quantum computing for students with diverse backgrounds and with no prior knowledge of quantum physics. We have developed an online course built around an interactive quantum circuit simulator designed to enable easy creation and maintenance of course material with ranging difficulty. The immediate feedback and automatically evaluated tasks lowers the entry barrier to quantum computing for all students, regardless of their background.

Despite significant device noise, through the use of approximate circuit recompilation we obtain electron-phonon dynamics on current quantum computers comparable to exact diagonalisation.
