Great answer, thank you! I will look into those courses and dig deep into the algorithms/stack.

Hi Oliver,

Thanks for taking questions. Few questions:

1) What online resources do you recommend for someone that wants to go from beginner to skilled in the field of self-driving cars? Is there a sequence of courses that you could recommend?

2) What important concepts should this self-learner hone in on as they learn?

3) How can someone that does 1) (and has projects) break into the self-driving cars career?

distorted_torus··on I'm Scott Aaronson, quantum computing/computational complexity researcher. AMA
Hi Scott,

I am interested in attending graduate school for a PhD in Computer Science and am beginning to think about the areas of research I'd like to get involved in.

Below are a few sporadic questions.

1) I really like mathematics, so what are the foundational areas of mathematics in quantum computing? What areas of mathematics should researchers know very well?

2) Are there any exciting connections between machine learning and quantum computing that you know about?

3) What is a problem that really excites you about the field at this very moment?

4) Can you direct me to good books, papers, or resources for the absolute beginner in quantum computing?
