Ok, thank you. What is a good starting place? Dirac's Principles of Quantum Mechanics?
Or, asking Claude to tell me about quantum mechanics? </facepalm>

There's an "Intro to Quantum Mechanics" section that covers what's strictly necessary to understand quantum algorithms.
For lectures, John Preskill's lectures from the Quantum Computation course at CalTech: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL0ojjrEqIyPy-1RRD8cTD_lF1...
But you also need some math: Complex numbers, linear algebra, some basics of partial differential equations.
But a traditional university course in quantum mechanics aims at doing quantum mechanics in 3-dimensional space, to solve electron orbitals and energy levels of hydrogen atom. But all this 3-dimensional mathematics, you don't necessarily need if you just want to read about quantum computers. Maybe some quantum computers textbook has a presentation of the basics of quantum mechanics that leaves out the topics that traditional physics needs, because traditionally physics was interested in how atoms are build.
^^ The best resource there is to start with.

And a HEALTHY understating of ETYMOLOGY

Meaning:
we are realizing the fabric of the reality a we speak it
Speak is an interesting WERD
Understanding druidics and etymology will bring you close.. this is how you fabricate youre reality
