I'm teaching an introductory 12 week course on Quantum Oracle Engineering

An introductory 12-week course on Quantum Oracle Engineering teaches practical methods for building quantum circuits and identifying when quantum computing actually provides speedup over classical approaches. The course covers topics from designing reversible circuits and managing quantum garbage collection to proof-carrying circuits and testing quantum claims, emphasizing that most published quantum speedup claims rely on oracles that exist only theoretically. Starting September 1, 2026, the course aims to equip programmers with practical skills to distinguish genuine quantum advantages from overpromises in the field.
