Could you build this?
No This is a specialized educational/interactive textbook bridging pure arithmetic to advanced quantum mechanics, requiring deep physics and mathematical domain expertise rather than pure software development.
What it would actually take: Building this requires a PhD-level understanding of quantum dynamics, functional analysis, and quantum information theory to author rigorous, pedagogical proofs and interactive explanations. From an engineering standpoint, it involves a static site generator (e.g. Astro, Next.js) with MathJax/KaTeX and interactive canvas/WebGL simulations (e.g., Bloch sphere visualizers). The insurmountable bottleneck is the creation and validation of the complex technical curriculum itself.
