Quantum Computing โ for Computer Scientists
From complex numbers to Shor's algorithm, the way a programmer learns it.
This is a full quantum computing course built from Yanofsky and Mannucci's well-known textbook, Quantum Computing for Computer Scientists. It runs over two semesters of twelve weekly classes each -- one class every Saturday, a single two-to-three hour session -- and takes you from the small amount of math you need all the way to the famous quantum algorithms. Each Saturday you watch that week's video together, a moderator answers your questions as you go, and you write and check real quantum circuits with Claude Code at your side, so you come away actually understanding how a quantum computer works.
Two semesters, 24 classes in all, one class a week -- a single two-to-three hour Saturday session. The syllabus is open to everyone; each class's lesson opens for subscribers. It is included in the one $13.99/month subscription.
Semester 1The Math and Ideas Behind Quantum
You build the small amount of math a computer scientist needs -- complex numbers and vectors -- and then meet the real ideas of quantum: superposition, measurement and entanglement. By the end you understand what a qubit actually is.

You learn the gates that act on qubits, build real quantum circuits, and then work through the famous quantum algorithms -- Deutsch, Grover and Shor -- and how to program them. Claude Code helps you write and check each circuit.
