Top tier education like this being free is not a given, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart as this is amazing!

When someone explains you the meaning of the math used in physics or any science, the subject becomes doubly interesting. I am sure this lecture series will fit to that category. Thanks to the creators of the course and looking forward to the journey of this lecture series.
@joseluisrg
I think this series can easily become a cult in the quantum information education space: concise and simple to digest, even when the topic is elusive for the classically formed brain. Thank you IBM for making quantum this accesible.

Before adding a comment, decided to read a few others below. As it happens, they ALL say exactly what I wanted to say. Every time I come back, especially when I pause the video and actually "do the math(s)", I "get" something new that was only vaguely (or more likely, not to any degree at all) understood. Such a privilege to have this freely available wealth of the real kind of deep learning to digest, each at our own pace and foundation background (or even lack thereof). Thank you for being such a clear and cogent guide to us grasshoppers. Long live the Copenhagen Interpretation!
@ShashiKumar-by2ek
Finally the rigorous approach we needed and with beautiful animations.Thank you Qiskit.
@Szczotii
I'm a quantum entusiast for some time now, I've seen a couple attempts to explain quantum in simple but very precise terms. This is by far the best explanation I've seen. It's step by step, no skipping because something will be covered later or is too difficult, which made me have multiple "aha!" moments. Thank you very much for this and kudos to Mr Watrous!
@uberobserver
The mathematics is usually put aside or ignored when this topic is popularly discussed - so correcting this omission with this series will prove to be extremely interesting and important. Can't wait for more.
@anoshwasker4635
When talking about the Euclidean norm I think it's helpful to mention that when we multiply the coefficient with it's complex conjugate. For example in the (1+2i)/3 |0> - 2/3 |1> so "the absolute value squared" mentioned means that we would take (1+2i)/3 * (1-2i)/3 = ( 1^2 - (2i)^2 )/9 = 5/9 I'm just putting this comment here incase it's helpful to anyone trying to figure out how to get 5/9 😃 Thank you for putting this content out! It's very well done!!💥👌
@ikshuljagannath1433
He has such a soothing voice and elucidates concepts in such a lucid manner!
@neoness1268
Really wonderful explanation of the basis of quantum managing information and operations. John Watrous is very clear in his words and in examples shown. Thank you to all the Qiskit team for releasing this educational jewel for free.
@cleverclark4834
You sort of explained here in 2 minutes what I couldn't understand after hours and hours of the MIT course. Thank you!
@krudk
These explanations are beyond brilliant. So clear and so easy to understand. I lament the fact that I tried to understand this from poorly written textbooks and only discovered this series now. Thank you so much for making the effort to break this down 👍
@pixelatedmushroom
This is a talented teacher and a very effective way of explaining this topic. Thank you for putting this on YouTube for all of us to benefit. 🎸
@hiphaestis
What a terrific lesson! His explanations are clear and complete. He does not leave me wondering how conclusions are drawn because he lays it all out so clearly. I might have thought that this would make the lesson tedious, but the opposite is true. Because the lesson is so clear, the material just flows, and an hour and 10 minutes is over in no time at all. Finally, he does make a few comments about deeper things that he does not prove. But those will be covered in future lessons, he assures us, or with a little extra effort, I can discover them on my own. In this way, he gives little victories to his audience. Quite remarkable, thanks.
@hi10n
This is awesome! How he begins with Classical Information and smoothly guides into Quantum System Information, explaining key Quantum information concepts along the way, is very beautifully done. It is very easy to understand and digest. Thank you so much for teaching this in a very clear and concise manner. Thank you, John!
@David_Lloyd-Jones
There is a funny convention about firsts and the number one: usually we associate them with each other. "1" reprents the first of a series, and the first of a series is identified with the digit "1." I suppose this is some sort of daring innovation by IBM here, using the numbering "01" to identify the second in a series and telling us to go find the first video by ourselves. Congratulations, IBM! It's wonderful to see this pioneering spirit here in YouTube.
@AkshayAradhya
I have so much respect for this man here. He was able to teach for an hour straight with crystal clear information. Not sure if he had a teleprompter though
@actualBIAS
Alright guys, first of all: Thank you so much for making this available for free. I will start today, 20.11.2024 and will give you a review of this course. It's been a long ride to be able to grasp what you're talking about. Wish me good luck.
@user-kr9qx6dj3z
You are a genius!!! I've always been frustrated at the notation part, but you made me to proceed to the next step! Thank you so much
