Best books to learn Quantum computing, in order
Quantum computing punishes the impatient, because gates and algorithms are meaningless without the linear algebra and qubit model beneath them. A good sequence builds intuition for superposition and entanglement, then the circuit model and core algorithms (Deutsch–Jozsa toward Shor's and Grover's), then error correction and real hardware programming—so the famous speedups land as consequences, not magic.
