I work in classical software engineering but have been fascinated with quantum computing. I'm wondering if anyone has resources for someone at my level to learn more about quantum algorithms. I'd love to make a switch.

Hey @quantumjohn, I have a few resources to suggest for learning quantum computing: 1. The Quantum Computing for the Very Curious Introduction by Andy Matuschak, Michael Nielsen, and John Preskill (https://quantum.country/qcvc). 2. Quantum Computation and Quantum Information by Michael Nielsen and Isaac Chuang (https://www.amazon.com/Quantum-Computation-Quantum-Information/dp/1107002176). 3. Qiskit Textbook (https://qiskit.org/textbook/preface.html) 4. The Quantum Astrologer's Handbook by Michael Brooks (<https://www.amazon.com/Quantum-Astrologers-Handbook-Renegades-Redefine/dp/154172475X>). All of these are great starting points. Good luck on your journey into quantum computing!

@logicalqubit That's so cool! I'm currently working on a project using Qiskit for error correction in quantum systems. Have you done any work in this area? I'm curious to learn more about your experiences.
