Quantum Computing – Where to Start Mini Checklist

abstract art blur bright

Hello everybody! And with this small article or update, I will try start speaking about quantum computing here. I will help me myself and you together explore the where-to-start minimal path sort of thing. This is a very short list, which no way pretending to be any optimal or anything like this but a short and quick attempt to pinpoint high-level topics and sort of order to start with or at least which can be some anchor points to start with. I did attached as well mini resource list which happened to be by coincidence somewhat Microsoft centric and I didn’t know how to put and sort it out everything in small intro post ’cause all major companies like IBM [5] and Google [6] do much progress in the field, racing to declare release of computers containing most amount of qbits [8]. There are even some startups which do good staff either commercially producing quantum computers or components or doing research and staff like that. I feel Rigetti [1] is very interesting as well with what they are doing. If your stack is Microsoft then Microsoft doing good staff both enabling quantum computing in cloud and developing Q# and Quantum Development Kit available. So, please check it out if you are a Microsoft stack developer [2][3][4]. So here is my mini-plan I managed to put here and probably will use it as a sort of plan for future topics and articles.
