Pramey Upadhyaya
The algorithms-and-software course closing Purdue University's Applied Quantum Computing series. Covers the quantum Fourier transform, search and Shor's algorithm, plus modern algorithms for optimization, simulation, chemistry, and machine learning, with hands-on cloud hardware access.
Qiskit
IBM Quantum / Qiskit Team
The original open-source Qiskit Textbook, now archived on GitHub, covering everything from quantum gates and basic circuits to Grover's algorithm, Shor's algorithm, quantum error correction, and quantum machine learning with interactive Jupyter notebooks.
QUANTUM ALGORITHMS
Dr. Donovan
The sequel to Quantum Computing 101. Eight modules on how quantum algorithms actually get their speedup, why real hardware fights you, and what a transpiler does to your circuit before it ever runs. Free and self-paced.
Udemy
Hoang Quy La
A hands-on Udemy course by Hoang Quy La covering qubits, quantum gates, and quantum circuits in Python with Cirq and Qiskit, plus the Deutsch-Jozsa algorithm, Grover's algorithm, the quantum Fourier transform, quantum phase estimation, variational quantum circuits, and an introduction to quantum error correction.
Implement discrete-time quantum walks on a line and cycle graph in Qiskit, visualize the quadratic spreading advantage over classical random walks, and understand the deep connection to Grover's algorithm.
Understand the real mechanism behind quantum speedup: not 'exploring all paths at once,' but engineering interference to amplify right answers and cancel wrong ones.
Implement canonical QAE and Iterative QAE in Qiskit, understand the connection to Grover and QPE, and apply amplitude estimation to European call option pricing.
