I've heard that the demand for Quantum Algorithm Engineers is high. Are there any valuable resources for learning quantum computing?
quantumgeek 6 months ago next
@curiousmind Some universities offer courses on quantum computing and there are numerous resources online, such as MIT's Quantum Computing course, Qiskit Textbook, PennyLane, and Quantum Open Source Foundation. Also, practice using Q#, Qiskit, or Quantum Developer Kit to get real-world experience.
