Quantum computing

Qubits, gates, measuring and entanglement, simulated with NumPy in a JupyterLab of your own.

← All topics

A small simulator you can read in a JupyterLab: put a qubit in a state, apply gates, measure it many times, entangle two and try one step of a search. It is a simulator, not a quantum computer.

Hands-on labs

Hands-on lessons

Every lesson here is worked in a hands-on lab: a real environment with a terminal beside it, nothing to install. A free account runs every lab, with enough free credit each month to follow most lessons, and is given the basic lessons on Home; with no account you can run the Git lab and the SQL lab.

Quantum Simulator Basics

Work through this lesson in a real lab, with a terminal beside it, not just by reading.

A private JupyterLab for each student with a small quantum simulator in NumPy to make qubits, apply gates and measure them. Code on GitHub.

Basic lessons are given to every free account, on Home, and to every college. Full course lessons are for colleges. Labs marked as an Ubuntu VM lab are set by a teacher in a module, and their lessons start the VM for you.

Run these yourself

A free personal account runs every lab here and its lesson, with enough free credit each month to follow most lessons. Teaching a class? Start a college and set them for your students.
