Building a quantum computer requires multidisciplinary knowledge involving experimental and theoretical physics, photonics, computer science, software engineering, and of course quantum mechanics.
If you are a computer scientist or a physicist aspiring to become a quantum computing scientist, this list is for you.
The topics include:
- Quantum mechanics
- Quantum information processing
- Quantum computing
- Quantum information theory
If you are also considering graduate school, you should start by reading: "Preparing for the quantum revolution: What is the role of higher education"
