What happens when the industry wants to popularize a highly technical topic? People can control real quantum hardware from the comfort of their home… on open plans. That’s what happens.

Exploring quantum computing concepts has become so accessible and interactive that it feels like a hobby. You can get involved in the theoretical research of the field without needing to analyze 1 formal paper per day. You can test your ideas on the real thing.

And for some reason, nobody seems to talk about that. Most of the content on quantum computers is non-technical (hypey, pop-science simplifications, corporate AI slop, etc.), and universities seem to prefer a more traditional approach of textbook theory and exercises. If nothing else, the quantum technological breakthrough as a whole was instigated by trying to settle a philosophical debate.

I don’t blame either: popularizing this field can lead to ‘influencers’ making content described above (and if it gets more eyes on the field, it’s a win), and formal education at universities is required if someone wants to go deeper. I aim to do something different: I want to explore these concepts, test my ideas, see what I will find, and share it here.

Of course, I don’t want to replace anyone’s textbook. I will talk much simpler than papers or textbooks, without ever sacrificing accuracy, though. I am not a fan of over-simplification. I don’t believe that real thinkers in the field need more similes (If I read one more time that a qubit is a bit that can take 0 and 1 simultaneously, I swear-).

That is what I want Quantum Decoder to be:

• Actionable quantum research thinking
• Exploration of intriguing ideas
• Intuitive and accurate explanations
• Companionship for everyone interested in the field

If these resonate, feel free to reach out. I would love to build a community around Quantum Decoder. From talking about the contents you want to see to making this experience as interactive as possible. Ready to decode Quantum?
