Quantum Computing for Developers
summary
Introduces quantum computing for developers, explaining qubits as Bloch‑sphere vectors and demonstrating the Hadamard gate to create superposition and the CNOT gate to produce entanglement with a live demo on IBM Quantum Experience (cloud devices of tens of qubits). Shows measurement collapse and probabilistic outputs, mentions algorithmic speedups such as Grover’s O(n)→O(√n) improvement and Shor’s threat to RSA factoring, and points to Microsoft Q# with VS Code tooling plus recommended beginner books.
