Self-study roadmap for Quantum Computing
Prerequisites:
- linear algebra (vectors, matrices, eigenvalues, tensor products)
- complex numbers
- if you know the basics of quantum mechanics then well done
- calculus is not necessary but useful
- Probability theory (i would recommend it for quantum algorithms & information theory)
Basics:
- For interactive intro: https://quantum.country/qcvc
- Old is gold yk so go through this playlist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_Riqjdh2oM&list=PL1826E60FD05B44E4
- For quantum circuit & gates: https://qiskit.org/textbook/
- To run simple simple quantum programs: https://quantum-computing.ibm.com/
Intermediate: Welcome homie
- Principles of Quantum Computation and Information - Volume I then II
- Quantum algorithms - https://qiskit.org/textbook/ch-algorithms/
- For physics part: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w08pSFsAZvE&list=PL0ojjrEqIyPy-1RRD8cTD_lF1hflo89Iu
- Practice coding quantum algorithms using Qiskit or Cirq https://quantumai.google/cirq/tutorials
Advance level: I myself not aware of much here but if you wanna explore research oriented side and theoretical knowledge then i know some books.
- Quantum Computation and Quantum Information by Nielsen & Chuang
- An Introduction to Quantum Computing by Kaye, Laflamme & Mosca
- IBM Quantum Experience and Amazon Braket https://aws.amazon.com/braket/ for cloud-based quantum computing.
Quantum computing is vast so learning it in a month or day (humph not possible) you can also learn quantum complexity theory but this is focused on practical quantum computing.
