Learn quantum programming
by actually doing it.
Most quantum education gives you theory. Qubit Forge gives you a coding sandbox, real constraints, and immediate feedback. You write code. The platform tells you if it works.
Get Early AccessEarly access — challenges are live now
Qubit Forge is currently in early access with a growing library of quantum programming challenges. Guided learning modules are being developed and will be available with the full release, making the platform accessible to anyone — no prior experience needed. During early access, some programming background and a willingness to learn with external material will help you get the most out of the challenges.
The problem with quantum education
Traditional learning follows a pattern that never quite gets you there.
The traditional pattern
The Qubit Forge approach
Qubit Forge inverts this. You start by writing circuits. The platform checks your work. You iterate until it runs correctly under real constraints.
How it works
Four steps from beginner to capable quantum programmer.
Start with fundamentals
Single-qubit gates, measurement, basic circuit construction. Each challenge has specific success criteria, and your submission is executed against a statevector simulator to verify correctness.
Progress through increasing difficulty
Entanglement, algorithms, optimisation. Three difficulty levels — Novice, Journeyman, and Master — each with progressively tighter constraints and scoring thresholds.
Build a verified performance profile
Every solution is scored on correctness and efficiency. Earn gold, silver, or bronze medals. Your performance profile demonstrates real, verified capability.
Compete and improve
Climb the leaderboard. Form teams with friends. Filter rankings by team or organisation. Your profile becomes objective evidence of what you can do.
Who this is for
Qubit Forge is built for people who learn by doing.
University students
Studying quantum computing or physics and want practical experience beyond problem sets. Build a profile that demonstrates what you have learned.
Software engineers
Learning quantum as a second discipline. Build foundational quantum programming skills without leaving your current role.
Researchers
Need practical circuit design skills. Get hands-on experience with realistic constraints before accessing expensive hardware resources.
Curious builders
Want to understand quantum computing by doing, not watching. If you have some programming experience and a desire to learn, Qubit Forge is built for you.

Three difficulty levels
Progress at your own pace through increasingly demanding challenges.
Novice
~30 seconds to 5 minutes
Foundational concepts. Single-qubit operations, basic measurement, introductory circuit construction.
Journeyman
~5 to 15 minutes
Multi-qubit operations, entanglement, algorithmic thinking. Tighter constraints and efficiency requirements.
Master
~15 to 30 minutes
Advanced algorithms, optimisation under strict constraints. Requires deep understanding and efficient design.
Frequently asked questions
How long do challenges take?
It depends on the difficulty. Novice challenges can be solved in as little as 30 seconds. Journeyman challenges typically take 5 to 15 minutes. Master-level challenges can take 30 minutes or more. It all depends on your experience and approach.
What background do I need?
During early access, some programming experience and basic linear algebra will help. No prior quantum experience is required. Guided learning modules are being developed for the full release, which will make the platform accessible with no prior knowledge at all.
How is this different from a MOOC?
MOOCs teach theory. Qubit Forge tests execution. There are no videos, no lectures, no certificates of completion. You don't watch — you build. Your results are objectively scored and recorded.
Can I use this for academic credit?
That's up to your institution. Your profile provides objective evidence of skill that some institutions accept as supplementary evidence.
Will there be a free tier?
Yes. A free tier with introductory challenges will be available when the full platform launches. During early access, a single plan at $4.99/month gives you access to everything.
