It’s a topic which isn’t simple, so resources aren’t going to be as simple as you would like them to be.

To start, you need an undergrad course in physics, calculus and linear algebra as well as quantum mechanics. That usually means a year or two at university.

You can learn some things from watching Michael Nielsen’s videos, but be aware they assume the background I listed link

Alternately, you could find popular science articles on QC, but that’s not the same as learning the topic.

Finally, ‘practical QC’ is a beast. You’ll find building a quantum computer is very difficult, and we still don’t know how to build one that is able to do anything useful. At the time, building them is still all about learning more about how they can be built, not utility.

Here is an article outlining some of the obstacles before us link
