Since the current computer has a whopping 5 qbits, you have plenty of
time to learn. IIRC the current state of the art in quantum computation
is the ability to write a program which proves with high probability
that 15=5*3, so 3D rendering is a ways off yet.

Well, ~20 years ago when I went to college, I took a course on digital
logic, and I'm pretty sure there was a textbook for the course....
So yes, there are such books.

One day there might be the Zx81 of qbits: 1K of qbits, for hobbyists.
In the meantime, gigabytes of traditional RAM in our computers.
