Brilliant / Sabine Hossenfelder
Quantum mechanics on Brilliant, with Sabine Hossenfelder. You work the simulations: states, superposition, and measurement.
The Bloch sphere is a map with edges. This final part covers what measurement does to the arrow, why real qubits drift inside the ball, and why an entangled qubit has no arrow at all.
Qiskit for a first circuit: single-qubit gates, two-qubit gates, drawing, statevector simulation, measurement, and histograms, with 20+ code examples.
Derive the CHSH inequality, understand why classical correlations cannot violate it, and verify that quantum entanglement does, with working Qiskit code that reproduces Bell test results.
Build a true quantum random number generator using superposition and measurement in Qiskit, and understand why quantum randomness is fundamentally different from classical pseudo-randomness.
Step-by-step guide to installing Qiskit, building your first quantum circuit, creating a Bell state, simulating it locally, and running it on a real IBM Quantum device.
Understand the structure of quantum algorithms through state preparation, oracles, interference, and measurement, using Deutsch's algorithm as the clearest possible example.
