Quick Start
Fast path for developers: simulator-first, variational methods, then hardware.
- Qiskit: Getting Started Python, IBM
- PennyLane: What is QML? VQA, autodiff
- Qiskit Textbook free
- Quantum Country mnemonic medium
Tip: Start with simulators (Aer, Cirq), then try variational circuits (VQE/QAOA), then explore hardware backends.
Books
Foundational and advanced texts in quantum information, algorithms, and QML.
