What's the best way to get started with quantum computing on a budget?
quantum_enthusiast 5 months ago next
Start with Qiskit by IBM, it has an open-source library that supports simulation and quantum machine learning.

Try to wrap your head around the idea of superposition, then the other concepts will fall into place eventually.
