09:38 Milestones Three quantum ways to diagonalize 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: when quantum beats classical machine learning, and when it does not.

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.

15:13 Milestones I Just Earned My First IBM Quantum Badge and I Am Not Going Back
There is a type of computer that holds every possible answer at once and only picks one when you force it to look. I found it a few weeks ago. I have not slept well since. First IBM Quantum badge earned. The chapter starts here.
