A Supremely Light Introduction to Quantum Computing
summary
Plain introduction that states concrete claims and demos: explains qubits and Bloch sphere, cites real machines (IBM Q Experience, Rigetti, Google, AWS Braket) and Python toolkits (Qiskit, Forest/Ocean/Pennylane). Reports running circuits on real hardware (53 qubit scale mentioned), seeing noise ~1–2% in results, and factorization only up to ~200 so far. Describes built experiments: a quantum nearest‑neighbor proof of concept and a hybrid quantum neural network (TensorFlow frontend, quantum decision layer) that trains but currently underperforms.
