The theory of quantum computation is accessible with a good understanding of linear algebra. Anyone working in machine learning or computer graphics should feel encouraged by that, and take a look at the theory.

Quantum error correction is one of those “wow” moments like euler’s identity, it is worth making the effort to get there.

I feel like I have a fairly good understanding of linear algebra, or at least I did when I studied it at uni but that was a while ago.

Any suggestions for where I can learn more about the theory of quantum computation?

The classic is "Quantum Computation and Quantum Information" by Nielsen & Chuang.
