QAOA for Max-Cut: Turn a Graph into a Quantum Circuit

QAOA for Max-Cut: Turn a Graph into a Quantum Circuit

Map a Max-Cut graph to QAOA cost and mixer layers, then use measured bitstrings to score candidate solutions.

The SWAP Test: Estimating Similarity Between Quantum States

The SWAP Test: Estimating Similarity Between Quantum States

Use one ancilla and a controlled-SWAP gate to turn the overlap between two quantum states into a measurable probability. Then build the circuit in Qis…

The Bloch Sphere for Programmers: Seeing What Single-Qubit Gates Do

The Bloch Sphere for Programmers: Seeing What Single-Qubit Gates Do

Use the Bloch sphere to see how single-qubit gates rotate states, change relative phase, and alter measurement outcomes.

Quantum Phase Estimation: The Idea Behind the Quantum Fourier Transform

Quantum Phase Estimation: The Idea Behind the Quantum Fourier Transform

See how controlled powers of a unitary and the inverse QFT turn a hidden eigenphase into a finite-precision bit string.

Quantum Teleportation in Qiskit: Move a State, Not a Particle

Quantum Teleportation in Qiskit: Move a State, Not a Particle

Transfer a qubit’s state with shared entanglement, two classical bits, and conditional corrections. See why it moves information, not matter.

Your First Quantum Program: Build a Bell Pair with Qiskit

Your First Quantum Program: Build a Bell Pair with Qiskit

Build a tiny two-qubit Bell-state circuit in Qiskit, run it on a simulator, and learn what its measurement results do - and do not - tell you.
