Self Learning Quantum Computing and helpful resources that can aid, guide and teach Quantum Computing from CS&E perspective

Computer Science Educators Asked by RewCie on May 17, 2021

Most technologists have some basic understanding of quantum computing.
Quantum bits are represented by qubits, and information isn’t simply a
zero or one, it can be both at the same time, representing much more
information. A quantum effect known as entanglement linking two
particles allows instantaneous communication.

Ultimately, quantum computing promises to be a disruptive technology
with such dramatic speed improvements that real tractable solutions to
hard problems could be solved in hours and days. These same problems
would take hundreds of years to solve on our best supercomputers,
known as a classical computer, by brute-forcing their way searching
through all possible solutions.

Quantum Computing is regarded as one of the most disruptive technology as well as emerging technology[1,2]. This field has attracted a lot of computational startups and investments in the recent years[3, 4, 5]. With such a pretty new field to learn and work on lacks some material/online courses to self learn Quantum Computing from Computer Science and Engineering perspective. So, the question focuses on the good quality resources to/for:

  1. Self-Learning Quantum Computing to build Quantum Computing Simulations on a digital Computer.

  2. Development of software, programming of such computer systems.

  3. Hardware and Physical implementation from the perspective of CS Engineers.

  4. Deployment and Integration (hybrid systems) with Digital Computer.

  5. Related areas of disruption of cryptography, internet, data, AI, etc.

The answers may be answered in the forms of links/resources to – scientific articles, papers, online courses/videos and Books that can aid or teach self learner Quantum Computing.

One Answer

The answer written here has been referenced from some of the leading Quantum Computing research Journals or Publications. The interested readers are advised to visit their website in order to get the rough idea of research trend and field segments before self reading Quantum Computing.

The publications/journals include - IEEE Quantum, Quantum Information Processing by Springer, Journal of Quantum Computing By Tech Science Press, Quantum Journal and Quantum Computing by IOP [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]. Trends were mainly picked up from Google Scholar, ArXiv Open Access Repos and Online Courses by Reputed Universities.

The interested enthusiast may start from the notes/cheatsheets before moving to books/online course videos.


Methodology

Books were given preference over paper as it can be more helpful for a self learner or anyone needing assistance/help in the field. The main books are solemnly chosen on the basis of higher citations (quality and research impact), whereas reference books on the basis of citations (atleast more than 50 for the given topic) as well as date of publication (newer material given more preference). The order of listing is on the basis of citations only!.

The answer includes video material/courses as well as papers/cheatsheets that'd be helpful for a beginner in an arbitrary order and not in any preference!
