Quantum Mechanics

The physics underneath the computing, said plainly. Superposition, measurement, entanglement, phase, and decoherence, with the mysticism left at the door.

    Phase kickback: the trick behind quantum algorithms

    The control flips, the target sits still. One strange move that unlocks half the algorithms in the field, built and run in Qiskit.

    Why your qubits forget: decoherence in plain words

    T1 is the qubit falling down, T2 is the phase slipping away. The two clocks that decide how long your circuit gets to run.

    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.

    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.

    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.
