QuaSim: A virtual quantum cryptography educator

Abstract

This paper describes a project-based gamified educational paradigm, QuaSim, that aims to improve the quality and efficiency of undergraduate STEM education. QuaSim is designed to educate junior/senior undergraduate and graduate students in quantum cryptographic principles. QuaSim converts the traditional subject-based lectures in the field of quantum cryptography into a project-based virtual environment with the aim to teach students, the subject matter, interactively.
