I'm considering to dive into quantum computing in 2023. I'm looking for some recommendations on the best resources to learn the subject. Any suggestions, HN community?

The Quantum Computing for the Very Curious book is a good entry-level resource, highly recommended. Of course, there's also the Qiskit Textbook, which is free and quite comprehensive.

@QuantumGuru Thank you for the recommendations! I'll take a look. Any advice on coding quantum algorithms?

Definitely start with linear algebra and discrete math basics, as these are essential for quantum computing. Learn how to use Python 3 and NumPy, as they are popular for quantum coding. Qiskit is a great framework to start with for coding quantum algorithms.

Also, I want to add that you can learn a lot by studying existing quantum algorithms. To do that, I'd suggest checking out resources provided by large tech companies, like Google and IBM, as they have many articles and tutorials on their websites.

I agree, Quantum Guru. I'd like to add the Quantum Algorithm Implementations for Beginners course by QCware to your suggestions.

No discussion about quantum computing would be complete without mentioning that the hardware continues to advance as well. Staying updated on hardware development will help place quantum algorithms in context. Keep an eye on industry news and research papers.
