This guide seems to overlook the challenges related to noise in quantum systems. While they're not the core focus here, some mention would've provided more context.

You're right, noisychannel. The mention of noise is vital in comprehending quantum computing. Although not the central topic here, I'll edit the guide to explicitly acknowledge the impact of noise.

I wonder if the author's experience is mainly with noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) computers? Or are gate-level quantum computers like IBM's Q systems taken into account?

Great question! The guide touches on both NISQ computers and quantum systems like IBM's Q systems, aiming to present a comprehensive overview without overwhelming beginners.

I've been trying to wrap my head around quantum computing for months, and believe me, it's a struggle. Could someone recommend a high-quality quantum computing course or textbook?

I recommend checking out 'Quantum Computation and Quantum Information' by Nielsen and Chuang. It's one of the standard texts on quantum computing. Also, the Qiskit Textbook by IBM is a great resource!
