Learning roadmap
Pick a path. Each step links to a lesson or a playground challenge.
๐ฑ Path 1 โ Curious beginner (โ1 hour)
- State vectors
- Measurement
- Superposition
- Playground challenges 1โ2
๐ง Path 2 โ Circuit builder (โ2 hours)
- Pauli gates and Hadamard
- Two qubits & CNOT
- Bell states
- Playground challenges 3โ5
๐ Path 3 โ First algorithms (โ3 hours)
- Deutsch's algorithm + challenge 6
- Grover on 2 qubits
- Run a Bell-state circuit on real hardware via IBM Quantum, Amazon Braket or Azure Quantum (check each provider's current free-tier terms)
๐ Next steps
Linear algebra refresh (complex numbers, matrices, eigenvalues), then a full textbook or university course. Free options include IBM Quantum Learning and many university lecture notes.
