Curriculum
Learn quantum technology in a deliberate sequence
Each module states its objectives, explains the physics in plain language, and ends with self-check questions. Start at foundation level and work upward; nothing assumes prior quantum mechanics.

Qubits and Superposition
A qubit is the smallest unit of quantum information. Unlike a classical bit, its state is described by amplitudes that can interfere with one another.
- Describe a qubit state as a combination of two basis states.
- Explain why superposition is not the same as 'both values at once'.
- Foundation14 min read
Entanglement and Correlation
Entangled systems cannot be described by assigning an independent state to each part. Their measurement outcomes are correlated more strongly than any classical model allows.
- Distinguish classical correlation from entanglement.
- Summarise what Bell tests demonstrate.

Gates, Circuits and Interference
Quantum circuits apply reversible operations to qubits. Understanding a circuit means tracking how it steers amplitudes toward a measurable answer.
- Read a circuit diagram as a sequence of unitary operations.
- Identify the role of Hadamard, phase, and controlled gates.

Noise and Error Correction
Physical qubits are noisy. Fault-tolerant computation encodes one logical qubit across many physical qubits and repairs errors faster than they accumulate.
- Name the main error channels affecting qubits.
- Describe how stabiliser measurements detect errors without reading the data.

Algorithms and Realistic Advantage
Only some problems have known quantum speed-ups, and each comes with resource requirements. Careful reading of algorithmic claims is a core research skill.
- Separate proven speed-ups from heuristic expectations.
- Account for input and output bottlenecks.
