## What it is
An archived open-source university-level quantum algorithms and quantum computation textbook built around Qiskit, written as Jupyter Notebooks. It is deprecated in favor of the newer Qiskit/textbook repository and IBM Quantum Learning courses.

## Use cases
- learn quantum computing with qiskit
- supplement for a university quantum algorithms course
- free quantum computation textbook with runnable code
- study quantum algorithms like grover and shor with examples
- jupyter notebook materials for teaching quantum information
- self-study quantum computing fundamentals

## When to choose
- you want free, runnable Jupyter Notebook course materials for quantum computing
- you are teaching or taking a university quantum algorithms course and need a supplement
- you prefer learning quantum concepts through executable Qiskit code examples

## When to avoid
- you need up-to-date content aligned with current Qiskit APIs - use the newer Qiskit/textbook or IBM Quantum Learning instead
- you want actively maintained documentation with support
- you need production quantum software tooling rather than educational material

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: abandoned
- function: documentation, developer-tools
- domain: education, tutorials, quantum-computing, programming-languages
- platform: python, cross-platform
- tags: quantum-computing, qiskit, textbook, jupyter-notebooks, archived, deprecated
