Didactic tools for teaching quantum informatics

Development of quantum informatics as a new field of computer science poses new challenges to teachers and students of computer science. Among others, very dynamic branches of quantum informatics are quantum programming languages and simulation of quantum systems. This article presents the program of the lecture: “Quantum systems of informatics” that is proposed to students of last semesters of computer science at Faculty of Automatic Control, Electronics and Computer Science of Silesian University of Technology The objective of this lecture is to familiarize students with notions and elements of quantum informatics. Lecture will introduce basic mathematical concepts needed to operate a quantum mechanics apparatus and elements of information theory. Many tools useful in education of quantum informatics are presented. Most of them are based on Quantum Computer Language. They are the authors’ original work. In the last section the examples of programs of laboratory classes, during which described software is used, are presented.
