I really really loved Nielsen and Matushak's Quantum country.

https://quantum.country

There are two reasons I like it.

There is no mumbo jumbo about polarising filters and "look how mysterious" it is. No. They concentrate on very simple linear algebra and work with it.

Second, they make a convincing argument that when you memorise a bit of material, it makes it intuitive. So they incorporate spaced repetition to continually test you (by email) so that the material gets into your long-term memory.

It's a good source if you know linear algebra. Beginners should know that there are no solutions to check your work.
