SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the foundational resources for beginners in quantum computation and quantum information, specifically referencing the book "Quantum Computation and Quantum Information" by Michael A. Nielsen and Isaac L. Chuang. Participants recommend starting with this book due to its comprehensive coverage of essential topics. Suggestions include exploring supplementary materials such as articles and video lectures concurrently to enhance understanding. The consensus emphasizes a structured approach, beginning with the recommended text before branching into additional resources.

PREREQUISITES
  • Basic understanding of linear algebra
  • Familiarity with quantum mechanics concepts
  • Knowledge of quantum algorithms
  • Access to "Quantum Computation and Quantum Information" by Nielsen and Chuang
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore supplementary articles on quantum algorithms
  • Watch introductory video lectures on quantum mechanics
  • Read "Quantum Computing for Computer Scientists" by Noson S. Yanofsky and Mirco A. Mannucci
  • Engage with online forums or study groups focused on quantum computation
USEFUL FOR

Students and enthusiasts beginning their journey in quantum computation and quantum information, as well as educators seeking structured resources for teaching these concepts.

hello,i had posted in this forum a question about linar algebra and quantum mechanics because i am studying quantum computation and information, i have the following book:"quantum computation and quantum information" by Michael A.Nielsen and Isaac L.Chuang. and i think it covers most topics of this field (as a beginer in studying quantum computation and information).
do you know another book for beginers? or what you suggest for a beginer that wants to enter this field?

thank you in advance.:biggrin:

do you suggest to read the above book first then go to another book/articles/video lectures/... or do some of them in paralel?
