Elaboración de un recurso computacional para la enseñanza del algoritmo cuántico de Grover

Abstract

In the current educational context and the importance of searching effective teaching strategies, an educational software has been made for the Grover’s algorithm teaching. Quantum computation is an important field of huge interest, with numerous algorithms, among which Grover’s algorithm is one of the most mentioned. As a quantum algorithm, it is understandable that its comprehension is not easy due to the complexity of this discipline. For this reason, a graphical user interface for its teaching was made. This technological tool is designed to help both the teacher and the student, optimizing the effort and the time required for the learning of the algorithm. The software includes different important conceptualizations and a simulation showing the step by step development of the algorithm through different visualizations and multiple cases. Additionally, it has been evaluated as a high-quality software, obtaining a ‘very high’ rating. This work details about the development process of the interface and other important aspects of its creation.
