• Abstract: This report describes my experience teaching a graduate-level quantum computing course at Northeastern University in the academic year 2022-23. The course takes a practical, software-driven approach to the course, teaching basic quantum concepts and algorithms through hands-on programming assignments and a software-focused final project. The course guides learners through all stages of the quantum software development process, from solving quantum computing problems and implementing solutions to debugging quantum programs, optimizing the code, and running the code on quantum hardware. This report offers instructors who want to adopt a similar practical approach to teaching quantum computing a comprehensive guide to getting started.
