I'm a brainlet and I want to learn quantum computing of course. Where should I start? (((serious)))

Here’s a chart on computer sci if that helps. Good luck, Anon!

Neilsen and Chung for the basics, followed by Watrous's Quantum Information Theory. Alongside this, read more functional analysis, do quantum mechanics proper (Shankar and Griffiths should be fine to start with).
Watrous's book in particular is really fucking good - he takes you from knowing little to dealing with problems and theorems that address the heart of both physics and computation.

Read this and play around with their platform. Also a + on the other guy's Nielsen & Chuang recommendation so you get acquainted with Quantum Information concepts

this is a bad list. Some of the books here are good, if not great. Many of them are eh. As a list, it has no good pedagogy either, and it could stand to have some more mathematics that are readily used.

by the way you need at the very least a solid background in linear algebra if you don't have one. should be piss easy to find resources online on that

Thank you. Is being a 35 yo brainlet an insurmountable obstacle in becoming an expert in quantum computing?

not really if you put your mind into it but do you really want to invest the time? unless you for some reason love the subject, right now we're having a make or break moment for quantum computing as companies are pouring money into this and startups are getting massively funded, but it'll be years if not decated until you can get a job in industry; and for academia it's realistically very hard to build a career at 35 if you have no prior experience on the subject. though not impossible, you'd just have to dedicate pretty much your life to it (or be a fucking genius but since you have self identified as a brainlet I assume that's not the case)

If you got a better list, you should totally drop it. I just found the other list somewhere around the board and I’d love to hear your recommendations.

What fields do you think it would be wise for a 35yo brainlet to prepare for in terms of job opportunity? CS?

start by learning what a qubit is (simplest quantum system of interest)

along the way, brush up on any math you dont know.

if you know some trig and linear algebra it should be accessible. if not just learn that stuff well
