This $499,502 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program supports research to understand how students make sense of the interconnections between linear algebra and quantum information science concepts across disciplines.

The key objectives are to investigate: 1) how students understand core linear algebra concepts that are central to quantum information science, and 2) how students reason about and symbolize linear algebra in the context of quantum topics like qubits and entanglement. This research will be conducted through qualitative analyses of student interviews and written work from four QIS-focused courses at Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University. The results have the potential to inform best practices in quantum information science instruction and support the growth of the critical quantum workforce.
