10:44 Quantum Computing Relative phase: the invisible engine of quantum
Probabilities cannot see it, the next gate can. Global vs relative phase, and the experiment that makes the invisible visible.

13:47 Quantum Computing The tensor product: why 10 qubits means 1024 numbers
One humble operation builds the space that every multi-qubit state lives in, and explains the exponential. Two qubits in, four amplitudes out.

23:06 Quantum Computing I could not find a place to practise Qiskit, so I built one
Every Qiskit tutorial I found was written for a version that no longer runs. So I built twenty exercises that check your answer by inspecting the objects your code produces.

00:24 Quantum Computing Entanglement, explained without the spooky
The Bell state in two lines of code, what correlated really means, and why none of it sends messages faster than light.

12:45 Quantum Computing Quantum gates are just matrices you can run by hand
X, H, Z and the rotations: applying a gate is multiplying a matrix by a vector. Literally. Worked by hand, then checked in Qiskit.
