The research aimed to evaluate the perceptions and attitudes of individuals who received quantum programming education.The phenomenological research design, a qualitative research method, was employed within the scope of the study.The study group consisted of individuals who voluntarily participated in a quantum programming workshop, forming the basis for the research. Data collection tools utilized were a semi-structured interview form and a lesson observation form developed by the researchers.For the data collection-tools, expert opinions were obtained from a Turkish teacher, an instructor who studies quantum physics, an instructor who teaches programming, and an instructor from the field of educational sciences who has conducted qualitative research. Following expert opinions, pilot interviews were conducted with two participants who had previously received training from the researcher delivering the education. Within the scope of the research, the training sessions were conducted by a researcher who participated in the Global Quantum Programming Workshop organized by QWorld and obtained a certification to deliver training. The training covers the fundamentals of Classical-Systems, Quantum-Systems, Utilization of Quantum-Operators on a Real-Valued Qubit, Quantum-Teleportation, Quantum-Communication, Quantum-Correlation, and the Grover Search Algorithm.Individuals with a basic understanding of programming in the Python language and knowledge of Linear-Algebra participated in the training.Throughout the training, one researcher conducted lectures, while the other researcher performed lesson observations.At the end of the training, face-to-face interviews were conducted with voluntary participants. Content analysis method was employed for the analysis of data collected during the research. Consequently, it’s recommended that a more comprehensive training program be developed that can meet the needs of the participants.
