Q: 5. How does this course compare to textbook learning—what should I pair it with?

For deeper theoretical exploration, the classic textbook “Quantum Computation and Quantum Information” by Nielsen & Chuang is recommended. Pairing the course with textbooks enhances understanding of proofs, derivations, and broader algorithm contexts. Complement with on-demand modules like MIT’s Quantum Information Science series for algorithm practice and communication theory. Another strong option is IBM’s free module on teleportation, coding circuits, and entanglement protocols. Working on physical simulators (e.g., Qiskit) alongside the course can bridge theory and implementation.
