I am a first year undergraduate electrical engineering student. I want to study quantum computing and quantum AI in the future and also possibly work on building quantum computers.



I have finished Strang's Introduction to Linear Algebra twice and Axler's Linear Algebra Done Right. I have finished MIT OCW 6.041 Probability Course. I know Calculus 1, 2, and 3 and Differential Equations.



I have 2 questions:



  1. Is my background sufficient for studying quantum computing, and

  2. Where should I start/which materials do you suggest?

I am working on a textbook that is currently in Early Access called Learn Quantum Computing with Python and Q#. It is intended for folks who want to learn how to program for a quantum computer, and learn the basics of how a quantum computer works along the way. Only knowledge prerequisites are programming in some language (Python helps but not really required) and the basics of Linear Algebra (multiple matrices and vectors sort of stuff). My co-author @chris-granade and I would love feedback on what is currently out on the forums associated with the book, and there are discount codes floating around for conferences and podcasts and such, hmu on dm and I can find one for ya!

The more you know about math, programming, quantum physics, etc. the better, but this field is new for everyone involved. We are all constantly learning so I guess you should do OK. Having said that, I would recommend you to develop your programming skills (Python is widely used in this realm) and start reading the stuff provided online by companies that are developing quantum computers such as IBM, Rigetti and D-Wave. That will get you started. Good luck.

    I would definitely say go for it. I have a lot less experience and math knowledge than you do, but I have been able to learn the basics. There is certainly some stuff that goes over my head, but I think you would be well prepared. The one area where you may need more study is logic and classical computer science. Having knowledge, even somewhat basic knowledge, here definitely helps. I started out with Chris Bernhardt's Quantum Computing for Everyone. This may be too simple for you, but it gave me a good entry point.



    In the end, I think it's your interest and enthusiasm that matters most, so, if you're fascinated by the subject, pursue it!
