Expeditions
Multi-part tutorials, in reading order — each one starts at "what do I install" and ends somewhere worth the walk. Written for readers with about one college course behind them, and tested on my own machine.
Building a Quantum CompilerA small optimizing compiler for quantum circuits, built from the IR up: OpenQASM 3 in, optimized QIR out, executed on CUDA-Q, and measured against the Qiskit and pytket transpilers.One GPU, N QubitsHow far quantum simulation goes on one consumer graphics card. cuQuantum, the memory wall, and the escape routes past it. Measured honestly, on a desk, no cluster in sight.Plucked, Struck, BlownThree musical instruments built from physics instead of samples: a wire, a bar, and a pipe in ~60 lines of Faust each, compiled to WebAssembly small enough to hand to a browser, then reverse-engineered by gradient descent.
