Quantum Computing in Python using Qiskit

Nice, to the point lectures that start from the basics. Although I think that the problems in the quiz are way too trivial and should be a bit more challenging. There are also some minor mistakes. But from a practical perspective it is a very good course.

Instructor has a soft and soothing voice. It's very nice, but he needs to record with a higher mic sensitivity. I often have the sound turned all the way and can still only barely hear him.

If I am able to add to this later on I will update my review, but I didn't want to forget some of these thoughts. So first and foremost, the course is outstanding and hands down one of the most comprehensive quantum courses I have come across. I am coming to this course with only a software engineering degree and a want to learn and have been able to navigate and get through everything so far without issue. One of the biggest challenges for me so far has been the accent, but he speaks better English than I do Greek and if he were to offer another course in the future, I wouldn't hesitate to drop more money again as the content provided has helped me gain a deeper understanding. The handwritten notes I found to be a bit tough to read at times as well, however I still appreciate them being provided for easy printing. Once done with this course, I will be going back over all the notes and rewriting them myself. Throughout the course, especially the mathematics, I did have to use Google and some ChatGPT to help fill in gaps and better understand what Anastasios had said or written, however I feel that sometimes these actions just help you solidify concepts more. It forced me to not only think through and understand it a bit more but also find other resources to explain it. The biggest help I found with this course is that it has been providing me a fantastic roadmap of what to learn and has provided me direction. Some things I found confusing were the Quizzes' 13-16 in section 5 that we never seemed to go over. I'm not 100% sure if this was a teaching style and meant for us to research ourselves and apply what we had learned to that point, however that was essentially what I had done in the end. Also I haven't really been using the provided notebooks but rather coding along with the lecture. I just got into the "Obtain Information about the Backend Part 1" section and noticed that I was getting errors with the Bogata example used in the lecture, however today when I downloaded the included notebook, I noticed it is using FakeCambridge instead. Perhaps just providing a note on a page before entering into lesson 71 would be helpful so other students don't spend too much time troubleshooting code that is no longer working. So far this "Backend" portion of the lecture I feel could use more in-depth explanation. There are statements being made around the notebook that I don't know and I feel are expected that I already know. For example, when in the lesson it was stated that we should use qubit 3 in situations where we have many runs because of its longer duration until decoherence, but others when using a single longer run. I sort of understand this, but I will now have to go research this more later as it is by no means solid in my mind as to how you go about making that determination. Perhaps in the future the knowledge with regards to working with these virtual backends could be expounded on more in this course, or perhaps providing another course which gets deeper into this would be a way to make it worthwhile for the instructor. Perhaps as I get deeper into this course, some of these things will become clearer, but this was really the first time I felt like a topic was glossed over a little. Improvements for future courses could be to provide possibly Latex converted notes rather than handwritten. This I feel would allow for the instructor to continue providing great content and an easy enough way to overcome the language barrier accent-wise. All the above said, I am truly loving this course and I couldn't recommend it enough for anyone interested in this space. The instructor is extremely knowledgeable on the topic and has put together a great format to teach this topic. There are some areas that will take a bit more research on the students end from my experience, but I say enjoy the ride! Thank you deeply for sharing this knowledge Anastasios!

too many mistakes are happening in the course. Especially when you take some of the quizzes the right answer is picked wrong which shows the lack of interest to make the course actually teach you something or the lack of knowledge of the teacher!

I like the way the instructor has the course organized but am frustrated by his accent. The captioning is also confused and can produce hilarious results. The instructor knows his material very well but I found another source of info in programming using Qiskit that includes a textbook that presents the material very clearly. I learned what the qubit |+> means which really confused me when this instructor introduced it without explanation. I won't be continuing with this course because of this other course for Quantum Computing UK.

You can tell he's got a grasp on teaching. The course builds on the fundamentals and guides you through more complex topics as well. All in all a great course!

I have been studying theoretical physics in university so up to this point, I was able to follow this course very well ;) I think the presentation is very good and everybody else should be able to follow the course too.

I am just starting. I think is have been good so far, but the voice tone is too low, I have a headphone set and even the volume of my notebook to the maximum, and it is still very difficult to hear. I hope that is resolve in the follower videos.

Very good explanations. The implementation of multiple visualizations in Qiskit and output brings life to the lectures. For the gates it great that detail is given both at ground and excited states. Really drives the points home.

It's great how he starts from basic concepts like complex numbers and then builds up from there. He doesn't assume prior knowledge past high-school level education making it easy for anyone to follow along.

Pretty good so far! Very thorough explanations. Would you mind fixing e.g. video 58 -two qubits quantum gates -? (I think it's current a duplicate of video 57, and not showing the 'coding' bit?

Excellent course. Anastasios really makes hard concepts understandable to ordinary learner. Five stars all the way!

One could tell that this man is a teacher through and through. He breaks down the concepts and builds upon them leading to the logical conclusion.

E' un corso struttrato molto bene e spiegato con estrema chiarezza. Ottima l'alternanza, per ogni argomento, della teoria con la codifica. Sono estremamente soddisfatto.

I think you sound is so quietly, when i watched from my laptop. I can’t hear you, what do you explain.
