I liked the Linear Algebra course on Coursera. Helped me understand the math behind QC

If you're mathematically inclined, I'd suggest starting with 'Principles of Quantum Mechanics' by Shankar as a textbook.

Shankar's book is an excellent text, but it's a bit dense. Make sure you have a solid understanding of linear algebra and calculus before diving in.

I would recommend the Quantum Computing Playground, an online simulator for experimenting with quantum algorithms.

For a more in-depth look, check out Quantum Computation and Quantum Information by Nielsen and Chuang.

Nielsen and Chuang is definitely a comprehensive introduction to quantum computing. But make sure you have a strong physics background.

Qiskit, a python library for working with quantum computers, offers a great set of tutorials for beginners.

I've been working through the Qiskit tutorials and they're really well-made. Highly recommend them for learning QC programming.

Keep an eye out for the Quantum Open Source Foundation (QOSF), they have a lot of resources for learning QC.

QOSF is a great resource for connecting with the quantum community and finding more learning materials. Thanks for the heads up!
