A complete self-study system for SIT Pune Quantum Club members. Master every topic from linear algebra prerequisites through quantum error correction and real hardware — explained clearly enough for a 10th grader to follow.
Deep-dive explanations of every quantum topic. Each concept is broken into an analogy, the formal definition, the key formula, and worked examples — so nothing feels abstract.
Systematically check off every topic as you complete it. Per-phase ring indicators, milestone questions, and a full dashboard ensure you never lose track of where you are.
Linear algebra, complex numbers, Dirac notation, the Bloch sphere, Pauli operators, and quantum measurement. Designed for total beginners — no prior physics assumed.
Deutsch-Jozsa, Grover's search, the Quantum Fourier Transform, Shor's factoring algorithm, quantum teleportation, and superdense coding. Theory plus Qiskit code.
Quantum error correction and surface codes, BB84 & E91 cryptography, VQE, QAOA, trapped-ion vs. superconducting hardware, and Google Sycamore benchmarks.
