Qubits & single-qubit gates —
the linear algebra that actually matters.

By the end of these ten slides you will have written your first quantum operation in Qiskit — and you will know exactly what superposition is, what it does, and what it is not.

What you will learn

Qubit as a unit vector in C² Pauli & Hadamard, on paper and in Qiskit Superposition ≠ classical probability
