IBM Quantum
Time on IBM Quantum machines, plus the badges along the way. Live shots on real hardware, the noise that rides with them, and credentials earned solo.

06:26 Milestones Running quantum circuits on real IBM hardware from n8n
I built an open source n8n node for IBM Quantum and ran a Bell state on a real 156-qubit processor. The full loop, the transpilation gotcha, and why n8n.

15:38 Milestones The density matrix: what the state vector misses
A pure state fits in a vector. A noisy state, or one qubit of an entangled pair, does not. Density matrices, quantum channels, and what they show that vectors miss.

09:38 Milestones Three quantum ways to diagonalise a giant matrix
A surprising number of hard problems are one eigenvalue problem on a matrix too big to build. Variational, Krylov, sample based, compared.

19:03 Milestones IBM says I understand quantum machine learning now
Quantum kernels, variational classifiers, and the honest part: what it would take for quantum to beat classical machine learning, and why it has not yet.

17:16 Milestones I just earned my second IBM Quantum badge, and it says Advanced
My first IBM Quantum badge said Intermediate and it bent my brain. The second one says Advanced. It is about the algorithms that actually run on today's noisy quantum machines, and I am a self-taught builder who was not supposed to get here.
