I wrote a book "Quantum Computing for Software Engineers", it's free (thanks to the Unitary Foundation)

Hi all, I wrote a book aimed at software engineers who would like to learn more about the realities of the quantum computing industry, and consider joining it. It's pay-as-you-want, starting from $0. It's focused on superconducting QCs, but most parts apply to other modalities as well. There's also a brief overview of the differences between different modalities. The goal is not to make you a quantum software engineer, but give enough background info that you "know the map", and will be able to ask correct questions when learning this stuff deeper. It's a book I wish I had when I first joined a quantum company without any prior exposure to this technology.

Groundwork Chapter 1. Gaming die Chapter 2. Quantum physics 101 Chapter 3. Qubits and quantum gates Chapter 4. Crafting a qubit with superconductivity Chapter 5. Other modalities Part II. Levels of Abstraction of a Superconducting Quantum Computer Chapter 6.

Quantum Circuits Chapter 7. Transpilation, routing, and optimization Chapter 8. Mid-circuit measurement Chapter 9. Compilation to pulse representation Chapter 10. Pulse-level control Chapter 11. Calibration Part III. Industry landscape Chapter 12. Software ecosystems Chapter 13. Hybrid computation Chapter 14. What’s next The book is available in multiple formats (epub, pdf, web view).
