De Wolf's note is also one of the standards right now, and more up-to-date than the QC&QI book: https://arxiv.org/abs/1907.09415

Thanks for this.

I’ve recently become very interested in QC and purchased and read Quantum Computation and quantum Information which I think is the standard book on the subject right now.

I’m even more interested in applying what I’ve learned but I’m at a loss as to how to begin working in the industry. Aside from getting a new masters degree I wouldn’t know where to begin and resources on the matter are understandably sparse.

I made a podcast in NotebookLM once I saw equations. Enjoy https://notebooklm.google.com/notebook/bc7616c4-1c71-4a04-b2...

Of course, no discussion of quantum annealing, the only practical form of quantum computation that is likely to exist at scale in our lifetimes.

Very funny to me that lecture 21 is one of the only lecture titles that doesn't reference the name of the originator.

I feel like I've seen/done this before. Could I be stuck in a groundhog day?

Well right now I am very skeptical, but I think we have somewhat given quantum computing plenty of time (we have given it decades) unless someone can convince me that it is not a scam.

Right now it hasn't amounted to anything useful, other than Shor's and 'experiments' and promises and applications that are no better done on a GPU rack right now.

How can a person become so good at researching ?

As soon as a math equation comes up I get lost.
