What we actually do here

  1. Every Python snippet is executed on every build. Not spot-checked: executed. scripts/test_snippets.py concatenates the code blocks in each tutorial and runs them, and a tutorial whose code raises is a failing build. Snippets that need cloud hardware credentials cannot be run here, and those are the exception. The output you see printed under a code block is output that code actually produced.
  2. Course links are checked, not assumed. scripts/check_affiliate_links.py follows every outbound course link to where it really lands. Providers rename and retire courses constantly, and a link that still returns 200 while quietly redirecting to a marketing page is worse than one that is plainly broken.
  3. The numbers are counted, not claimed. The counts in the footer are computed from the content itself at build time. Nothing on this site says "hundreds of" anything, and no figure here is rounded up to sound bigger.
  4. Where the quantum approach loses, the page says so. The variational classifier tutorial reports that logistic regression beats it, because on that data it does. A learning resource that only ever reports flattering results is not teaching you the field, it is selling it.
  5. Corrections get made. Email hello@quantumcomputingcourses.com. Catching a code error, a dead course link or a wrong number is the most useful thing anyone can send.

Quantum Zeitgeist

Quantum Zeitgeist is the sister publication, and the same person is behind both. It covers quantum computing news and research daily: hardware milestones, funding rounds, paper releases, policy. This site is the teaching half. If you want to keep up with what is actually happening in the field rather than learn it from scratch, start there.

Corrections and contributions

The most useful contributions are catching code errors in tutorials, reporting broken course links, pointing out factual mistakes, and suggesting topics that are missing. Email works best.
