You’ve never read a tutorial like it.

So many tutorials are redundant, repeated, and repurposed rehashings of earlier retellings of earlier rip-offs of earlier remakes of the earliest quantum computing tutorials. It’s almost as if Hollywood is producing these things. Anyway, it’s refreshing to discover a tutorial the content of which I have definitely never encountered in any other tutorial before.

Play around with Q-CTRL’s legendary, interactive Bloch sphere as you learn more about gates. Plus, if you haven’t been already, you’ll be introduced to Hamiltonians and Schrodinger’s equation. Don’t worry: you don’t have to do any computation to complete this section.
