Teaching quantum oracle engineering: building the circuits behind speedup claims

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

Most quantum speedup claims rely on an oracle that exists only on paper. A new 12-week course teaches the craft of building practical quantum circuits from scratch—choosing the problem, constructing the oracle gate by gate, handling reversible logic, garbage collection, and measurement-based erasure. It covers calling conventions akin to Rust's borrow checker for qubits, proof-carrying circuits, and the hard truth about quantum memory costs. The course also provides tabletop tests to audit quantum claims without a lab, aiming to separate real potential from hype.
