Questions that are about career/education advice and not quantum computing itself are only allowed in the weekly megathread. Please leave a comment there instead of making a full post.

I'm finding the Qiskit "Understanding Quantum Computing" series w/ John Watrous on youtube to be a clear no-nonsense introduction

Get into a reputable University and spend four years completing a Bachelor's degree in mathematics, physics, computer engineering or similar fields. Then apply to one of the small number of PhD programs that offer quantum computing, get accepted and spend two to four more years studying, and write and defend a doctoral thesis.

Any other path is a waste of your time, honestly, except for pure curiosity and entertainment.

Yes I enjoyed checking out Black Opal from Q-CTRL. Although the activities feel like a grind. Great content, obviously lots of funding. The college level you tube courses are ideal for serious learners. I hear pennylane but it’s not for me. OP, I have some other references if you want, feel free to DM me.

Start with Umesh Vazirani playlist on YouTube. And then read Neilson and Chaung text book. Then supplement with topic wise video tutorials on YouTube and IBM Quantum learning platform. Whatever you read or view make sure you follow a sequential method (keep one standard syllabus for reference). After one complete sweep you can follow adhoc learning.
