Thanks for contributing to Qiskit documentation!

Before your PR can be merged, it will first need to pass continuous integration tests and be reviewed. Sometimes the review process can be slow, so please be patient. Thanks! 🙌

This LGTM! 🚀

I'd love to do a quick copyedit if you can hold off merging for a bit?

Can you add which processor it took 2 seconds on? e.g.,

"This module was tested and used 2 seconds of QPU time on a Heron v2 processor."

yep, thank you!

	"In the Qiskit in the Classroom modules, you'll have the opportunity to use a quantum computer to explore various concepts in quantum computing-adjacent fields such as quantum mechanics, computer science, chemistry, and more. To prepare you for this, we've made this introductory module, which teaches the fundamentals of quantum computing and how to use Qiskit to run quantum circuits.\n",

I was trying to work around using the "this" in "To prepare you for this" since it's vague - but is "prerequisite" the right word?

	"Typically, when learning about classical computing, not much attention is paid to the process of reading out the state of the bits. This is because there's not much to it from a conceptual perspective. You can measure the bits at anytime before, during, or after a computation, and it doesn't affect the outcome. This is not the case in quantum computing, as we will discuss below.\n",

	"So, the two bits are copied and fed through both an AND gate and an XOR gate. The result of the XOR gate is the \"sum bit\" (S), which remains in the ones place of the binary number, and the result of the AND gate is the \"carry bit\" (C) which is the value of the next most significant digit in the binary number. Here is the truth table:\n",

This wasn't rendering properly - I think it was missing the verts
