Prof. Elias Fernandez-Combarro Alvarez, University of Oviedo
CERN openlab's free lecture series on quantum computing covering qubits, quantum algorithms, QAOA, VQE, and quantum machine learning. Taught by a University of Oviedo professor with no physics background required.
edX
Lei Zhang (UMBC)
UMBC's six-week edX course on post-quantum cryptography for beginning STEM learners. Lectures and labs on quantum-safe encryption, Shor and Grover, and NIST-standard algorithms. Audit is free; a verified certificate is paid.
Qiskit
IBM Quantum / Qiskit Team
The original Qiskit Textbook, now archived on GitHub. Gates and circuits, Grover, Shor, error correction, and quantum machine learning, as Jupyter notebooks.
Coursera
Packt
A Qiskit-based course that moves from quantum fundamentals into the major quantum algorithms: teleportation, Deutsch, Bernstein-Vazirani, Grover's search, and Shor's factoring algorithm, with implementation on simulators and real quantum hardware.
Coursera
SpecialisationPackt
Packt specialization on Coursera, three courses. High-school maths to start, then Qiskit and algorithms on IBM hardware. No programming experience required.
Quantum algorithms
QuantumComputingCourses
Eight modules after Quantum Computing 101. Where Grover and Shor get a speedup, what noise does on hardware, and what the transpiler changes before a circuit runs.
MIT xPRO / Isaac Chuang, William Oliver, Peter Shor, Aram Harrow
CertificateMIT xPRO's professional certificate program in quantum computing, taught by Isaac Chuang, William Oliver, Peter Shor, and Aram Harrow. A two-course program covering quantum computing fundamentals, algorithms for cybersecurity and chemistry, and the business implications of the technology.
Prof. Isaac Chuang and Prof. Peter Shor, MIT
MIT's three-part interactive course on quantum information science covering quantum mechanics, protocols, algorithms, and communication. Fully free with graded exercises on the Open Learning Library.
Coursera
Sriram Sankaranarayanan (University of Colorado Boulder)
University of Colorado Boulder's Coursera course on RSA, Grover search, phase estimation and Shor's algorithm, plus B-trees and tries. Part of the Foundations of Data Structures and Algorithms specialization.
edX
Pramey Upadhyaya
Last course in Purdue's Applied Quantum Computing series on edX. QFT, Grover, Shor, then optimization, simulation, chemistry, and machine learning, with cloud hardware.
Prof. Peter Shor, MIT
MIT's graduate-level quantum computation course covering quantum algorithms, complexity theory, and quantum information. Lecture notes and problem sets freely available.
