I Stopped Installing Qiskit to Understand Hadamard Gates

I spent six years working adjacent to quantum computing research. Not building qubits; building the classical software that talks to the hardware. The thing that surprised me most wasn't the physics. It was how bad the tooling was for anyone trying to learn . The education gap is the real bottleneck The hardware is advancing. IBM's 1,121-qubit Condor processor exists. Google's Willow chip hit a below-threshold error correction milestone in late 2024. But ask a CS undergrad to explain what a Hada
