Quantum Circuits Explained: Unlocking Quantum Information & Computing 🔍

This is part of the Understanding Quantum Information & Computation series. Watch the full playlist here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLOFEBzvs-VvqKKMXX4vbi4EB1uaErFMSO

This lesson introduces the quantum circuit model, as well as some mathematical concepts that are important to quantum information including inner products, orthogonality, and projections. Fundamental limitations of quantum information, including the no-cloning theorem, are also discussed.

Additional materials for this course, including written text, Qiskit implementations, slides in pdf format, and a badging exam, can be found on IBM Quantum Learning by following this link: https://learning.quantum.ibm.com/course/basics-of-quantum-information
