Follow one quantum circuit through the real machine: compiler, control electronics, cryostat, qubits, gates, readout, errors, shots and post-processing.

X, Y, Z, Hadamard, CNOT, rotation gates and measurement explained with a real circuit diagram, Qiskit code and tested results for every gate.

A concept-building guide to the three ideas behind every quantum computer: state probabilities, correlations no classical bits can copy, and measurement.

A hands-on lab: install Qiskit, create a qubit, apply a Hadamard gate, measure it and run it, first on a simulator, then on a real IBM quantum computer.

Qubits, superposition, measurement, entanglement, gates and circuits explained from zero with a coin analogy, plus a first circuit you can run in your browser.
