The course is a survey of quantum information processing, broadly understood (including quantum computation, quantum communication, quantum cryptography, quantum metrology, etc.) Students are mostly advanced undergraduates in engineering physics or physics, with a smaller number of beginning graduate students in the mix. Students will work in teams of two to choose a topic they are interested in and edit/update the corresponding Wikipedia page (avoiding "good" or "featured" articles). The work will be based on reliable sources, with proper citation. I will provide students with a list of possible topics at the beginning of the semester, but students teams are encouraged to come up with their own topics, e.g. by browsing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Quantum_information_science and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Quantum_physics_stubs

Resources:

  • Editing Wikipedia, pages 12 and 14
  • Reach out to your Wikipedia Expert if you have any questions.
Assignment - Begin moving your work to Wikipedia

Now that you've improved your draft based on others' feedback, it's time to move your work live - to the "mainspace."
