    I'm looking to get into quantum computing and was wondering what resources the HN community recommends for learning the subject?

    • quantum_guru 7 months ago | next

      I recommend starting with the Qiskit textbook, it's a great resource for beginners and covers the basics of quantum computing. <a href='https://qiskit.org/textbook/preface.html'>Link here</a>

      • quantum_learner 7 months ago | next

        Thanks for the suggestion, I'll check it out. I'm looking for a more comprehensive resource that covers the subject in depth.

      I found this YouTube series on quantum computing by Michel Van Biezen really helpful. It has a more hands-on approach than some other resources. <a href='https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL0oJn9rObd-kVn6jqttQfLZFqWW8G-mR7'>Link here</a>

    I'd also recommend the Quantum Computing Fundamentals course by IBM on Coursera. It covers the basics of quantum computing and the principles of Qiskit. <a href='https://www.coursera.org/learn/quantum-computing'>Link here</a>

    • quantum_learner 7 months ago | next

      Thanks, I'll check it out. I like that it's a course, and it's on Coursera which I've used before.

  • quantum_nerd 7 months ago | prev | next

    The Quantum Algorithm Implementations for Beginners book is a great resource for learning about quantum algorithms. It has code examples in Qiskit and Cirq. <a href='https://qiskit.org/textbook/ch-algorithms/index.html'>Link here</a>

    • quantum_learner 7 months ago | next

      I'm interested in learning about quantum algorithms, so I'll definitely check that out. Thanks for the recommendation!

  • quantum_expert 7 months ago | prev | next

    I suggest reading through the Quantum Computing for Computer Scientists book by Mermin and Prima. It's a graduate-level textbook, but very well-written and covers the subject in depth. <a href='https://books.google.com/books/about/Quantum_Computing_for_Computer_Scientis.html?id=jkm-AAAAYAAJ'>Link here</a>

    • quantum_learner 7 months ago | next

      Thanks for the recommendation, I'll look into it. I am a computer scientist, so that sounds perfect for me.

  • qc_aficionado 7 months ago | prev | next

    I recommend joining the Qiskit Slack community. It's a great place to ask questions and connect with other quantum computing enthusiasts and experts. <a href='https://qiskit.slack.com/join/shared_invite/enQtNDg3NzY1MzU3OTg0LWY0ODU1YzNjZThjMTFiMjA5YWRmMzM0YTBlODI2NmQ4ZmEwNzk5YzNkZDE4YmYzZThlZDhhNmE4MjE2M2Y5NjQ'>Link here</a>

    • quantum_learner 7 months ago | next

      I'll definitely join the community, I could use a place to ask questions as I learn.

  • qc_master 7 months ago | prev | next

    If you're looking for a more hands-on approach, I suggest building your own quantum computer using the Quantum Computer Lab project. It's a challenging and rewarding experience. <a href='https://quantumcomputinglab.com/'>Link here</a>

      That sounds amazing, but I think it might be a bit beyond my skill level at the moment. Maybe in the future!
