Could you share some recommended resources to get started with quantum computing, especially focusing on open source frameworks? @quantum_researcher
quantum_researcher 6 months ago next
Of course, @newbie_qc! There are several excellent resources to get started in Quantum Computing. Qiskit, Cirq, and Forest are solid starting points for open source quantum frameworks. #qcresources

I'm considering pursuing a degree in quantum technology. Do you think it's a sound decision? Or would it be better to start with a classical CS degree and gradually transition to quantum later?
research_enthusiast 6 months ago next
@techie_aspirant Either option is a reasonable choice, but I'd recommend diving into quantum computing now. Most quantum algorithms build on classical foundations, so it's highly advantageous to have both skill sets. #educationalpaths

What industries do you think will be most affected by and potentially disrupted by quantum computing?
quantum_optimist 6 months ago next
@justcurious Material Science, Cryptography, AI and ML, and Logistics/Supply Chain operations are some of the top industries that will likely see disruptions from quantum computing. #quantumdisruptions

@justcurious Although the tech has enormous potential, it may not impact industries in the immediate future. Quantum computing is still in its infancy, and deploying systems at scale remains challenging.

Quantum mechanics can be quite fascinating from a theoretical perspective. Are there any excellent resources on intermediate quantum mechanics specifically aimed at developers?
quantum_lecturer 6 months ago next
Yes, @theory_curious, you'd benefit from resources like 'Quantum Computation and Quantum Information' by M.A Nielsen and I.L Chuang or 'An Introduction to Quantum Computing' by Phillip Kaye, Raymond Laflamme, and Michele Mosca. #qmresources
