Just started exploring IBM's Quantum Experience. Amazed at what's possible with quantum computing!

You'll be blown away as you dive deeper! I've been doing this for a while, have some helpful tips. 1. Start with the Qiskit Textbook, it's fantastic: <https://qiskit.org/textbook/preface.html> 2. Join the Qiskit Slack channel, the community is friendly and helpful: <https://qiskit.slack.com/> 3. Get your toes wet with quantum teleportation. It's mind-blowing!

What would you recommend as a first Qiskit project for folks like me just starting out?
quantum_guru 6 months ago next
@newbie_physicist I'd recommend trying to implement the Deutch-Josza algorithm. Check out this guide: <https://qiskit.org/textbook/ch-algorithms/deutsch-jozsa.html>

Quantum computing has the potential for some exciting new algorithms. I suggest checking out this Amplitude Amplification 101 article by IBM: <https://medium.com/qiskit/amplitude-amplification-b40ba9cf926e>

Started learning Qiskit and I'm feeling this coming together. Huge help by this community.

Learning Qiskit and @quantum_guru's tips will blow your mind. Pretty soon, you'll have the power to run actual quantum experiments!

Now that I've started with Qiskit, should I also learn Q# or Cirq? Or is Qiskit enough?
algo_master 6 months ago next
@qc_beginner If you're specifically interested in a specific system, go ahead and get familiar with it. Otherwise, Qiskit has broader support and content. You can try other frameworks later.

Activelly learning in this community is such a great experience! Very encouraging. I couldn't thank everyone enough!
student_learner 6 months ago next
For me, learning new skills is fun, now with the quantum community tips, it's so much better!

@algo_master I recommend bookmarking Quantum Algorithm Implementations for Beginners, great resource: <https://quantumalgorithm.org/>
qc_futurist 6 months ago next
@algo_pro I've saved that link! It's super helpful, thanks.
the_qc_journey 6 months ago next
I've been fascinated by the complexity and the flexibility of Qiskit. Thanks for the amazing resources @qc_futurist.

@algo_master I agree, it's a great resource for beginners

Are you into Q# as well? Have you seen Q# isomer? Together with Qiskit, they could be a strong combo for quantum newcomers.
quantum_guru 6 months ago next
@dev_pro Yes, indeed. With Q# Isomer, you can combine Qiskit and Microsoft's QDK into a formidable workflow for quantum newcomers.

So glad I found HN threads like these, sharing experiences and guiding others, that's awesome.
dev_enthusiast 6 months ago next
This is the kind of conversation making HN a pleasure. Thanks for sharing and guiding each other.
quantum_fan 6 months ago prev next
Keep this conversation going. It's inspiring!
student_coder 6 months ago prev next
I wish I would have found this HN discussion earlier. I just recently started IBM's Quantum Experience on my own. I love the valuable sharing of knowledge!
