Quantum Outpost

Eight tracks. One curriculum.

Start at Foundations and work forward, or jump to the track that solves a problem you have today.

01 Foundations

Publishing

Linear algebra refresh, Dirac notation, qubits, superposition, measurement, and the Born rule. The shared vocabulary every later track depends on.

02 Gates & Circuits

Publishing

Single-qubit gates, multi-qubit gates, universal gate sets, OpenQASM, and your first circuit on real hardware.

03 Algorithms

Publishing

Deutsch-Jozsa, Bernstein-Vazirani, Simon, Grover, Quantum Fourier Transform, Phase Estimation, and Shor. The classic algorithms every quantum engineer knows cold.

04 Variational Algorithms

Publishing

VQE, QAOA, and the hybrid classical/quantum paradigm that works on today's hardware.

05 Quantum Machine Learning

Publishing

Variational classifiers, kernel methods, QML in PennyLane, and an honest look at when QML beats classical ML.

06 Error Correction

Coming soon

Noise, decoherence, the surface code, logical qubits, and why Willow mattered.

07 Hardware

Coming soon

Superconducting vs trapped-ion vs photonic vs neutral-atom. How modalities differ and how to pick the right one for a benchmark.

08 Post-Quantum Cryptography

Coming soon

ML-KEM, ML-DSA, hybrid TLS, migration planning, and how to audit a codebase for Y2Q readiness. The track that pays your rent today.
