Start with one qubit
Qubits, superposition and measurement
Learn what a qubit describes, what a measurement reveals, and why quantum information needs more than a list of probabilities.

Introduction to
Distributed Quantum Computing
How can small quantum computers work together? Build your understanding one idea at a time — from a single qubit to a network of processors.
No quantum background, coding or advanced maths required.

YOUR LEARNING PATH
Start small. Connect the ideas.
You’ll learn what a qubit can tell us, how entanglement becomes a resource, and why quantum computers still need classical messages. Then follow a state through teleportation and explore the costs of working across modules.

THE CURRICULUM
From qubits to connected computers
0220 questions
Build a shared quantum resource
Gates, circuits and entanglement
Follow a simple circuit, create a Bell pair, and understand the limits that make quantum networking different from copying classical data.

Connect modules
From one processor to a quantum network
Meet the processors, quantum links, classical messages and memories needed when a computation spans more than one quantum module.

Follow the information
Teleportation: moving a quantum state
Trace a three-qubit protocol, read its correction table, and see why teleportation creates neither a copy nor an instant message.

Make the modules cooperate
From a circuit to a distributed computation
Turn a small circuit into a plan for two modules, account for communication, and understand why good placement matters.

Read the claims carefully
Noise, evidence and the path forward
Separate successful link attempts from high-quality results, understand error correction, and assess a real experiment without overclaiming.

Clear explanations. Traceable sources.
Lessons, examples, questions and diagrams were written for this course. Each section links to the technical sources used to check its ideas. Diagrams are original teaching schematics; they are not photographs of real hardware.
We separate ideal protocols, illustrative calculations and dated research results. The course makes no promise of faster-than-light messaging or automatic computational speed-up.
