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://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Category:Quantum_information_science and https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Category:Quantum_physics_stubs

Assignment - Respond to your peer review

You probably have some feedback from other students and possibly other Wikipedians. Consider their suggestions, decide whether it makes your work more accurate and complete, and edit your draft to make those changes.

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."
