Learning in Public

The whole quantum journey written down as it happens. Dated notes, dead ends included, and the proof of work that most learning content leaves out.

    Complex numbers are the gateway to quantum

    Multiplying by i is a quarter turn, Euler's formula is the unit circle, and suddenly the imaginary number is the thing you measure.

    The version trap that cost me an evening (Qiskit 2.x)

    execute() is gone, Aer moved out, and the tutorials never got the memo. What died in Qiskit 2.x and the modern pattern that replaced it.

    Measurement is not magic: the Born rule by hand

    Why a quantum result is a probability: amplitude squared, worked on paper and checked in NumPy, one basis at a time.

    How I use AI as a tutor without letting it lie to me

    The best study partner I have ever had is also the most confident liar I have met. The prompts and checks that keep it honest.

    The Python you actually need for quantum computing

    Dictionaries for counts, just enough OOP to read Qiskit, and NumPy as the bridge. The thin slice that matters, nothing else.

    A qubit is not a coin under a cup

    The superposition myth, taken apart with math you can run. Not a hidden answer waiting to be read, but something stranger and far more precise.
