The New Quantum Era
by Sebastian Hassinger · Sebastian Hassinger, Kevin Rowney
Your host, Sebastian Hassinger, interviews brilliant research scientists, software developers, engineers and others actively exploring the possibilities of our new quantum era. We will cover topics in quantum computing, networking and sensing, focusing on hardware, algorithms and general theory. The show aims for accessibility - Sebastian is not a physicist - and we'll try to provide context for the terminology and glimpses at the fascinating history of this new field as it evolves in real time.

CERN QTI - Introduction to Quantum Computing
In 2020, CERN openlab and the CERN Quantum Technology Initiative organized a series of open, free lectures on quantum computing. These lectures introduce basic concepts of the quantum circuit model (qubits, gates, measures) and important quantum algorithms and protocols. Recordings and materials are available through the provided link.
Microsoft Learn - Quantum Computing Fundamentals Learning Path
This structured learning path from Microsoft introduces the fundamental concepts of quantum computing, explains how quantum computers operate, and identifies the types of problems quantum algorithms can solve. It's a free, self-paced course designed to build a strong foundational understanding.
IBM Quantum Learning
IBM's official learning platform for quantum computing with Qiskit. It offers a library of over 10 free courses from leading experts, covering fundamental concepts, practical applications, and programming with Qiskit. It's an excellent resource for structured learning from a major industry player.
Quantum Computer Science: An Introduction
Widely praised on Reddit for its accessibility, particularly for those without a strong physics background, this book offers a concise introduction to quantum computation. It develops the basic elements of the field without assuming prior knowledge of quantum mechanics. Related lecture notes are also available from Cornell University.
Qiskit Textbook (GitHub Repository)
This GitHub repository hosts the source files (Jupyter notebooks) for the Qiskit Textbook. Although the standalone "textbook" was discontinued, its comprehensive content, developed by IBM and the quantum community, is still freely available and continuously updated here. It provides a hands-on approach to learning quantum computing with Qiskit.
