The CQA repository brings together books, research manuscripts, and reports produced by contributors to the alliance and CyberColombia. It provides a shared archive for learning, scientific discussion, and further research, preserving the authorship and revisions of each work.

Books

Mathematical and Physical Foundations for Quantum Computing

A university text by Esteban Hernández covering the foundations of qubits, quantum circuits, Hamiltonians, and Ising models, with worked examples and exercises. The fourth revised edition, version 09, is available in English and Spanish.

Research manuscripts

Beyond Classical Computer Science: Educating for Quantum Computing in Colombia

Examines the competencies needed for quantum computing and proposes an educational pathway in the Colombian context, connecting computing, physics, and the development of the quantum workforce.

Evidence-Gated Admission Control for Autonomous Quantum Research: An Architecture and Simulation Study

Proposes a framework for conditioning access to quantum hardware on reproducible classical evidence. The study evaluates candidate readiness and resource allocation through simulation; its reported results do not establish validation on physical quantum hardware.

Exponential by Design: Why a Million Classical Cores Cannot Match a Hundred Good Qubits

Discusses classical parallelism, quantum interference, computational complexity, and the relationship between HPC and quantum computing. The comparison examines problem structure and hardware limitations rather than treating qubit counts as a general performance benchmark.
