    $\begingroup$ Could you clarify the scope of your question? For example, are you asking about the concept of algorithmic complexity and big-O notation, or are you are asking about the details of each individual algorithm? $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ If you're just looking for general advice on approaching Quantum Complexity; first obviously tackle some Classical Complexity. Then get comfortable with Grover Searches, Quantum Counting, Amplitude Amplification, Quantum Walks, etc. And from there you can approach any specific algorithm whose complexity is almost always analyzed in the paper the algorithm is introduced in. For actual analysis of upper/lower bounds The Adversarial Method and The Polynomial Method are often used. $\endgroup$ Commented Sep 17, 2021 at 19:13

First, you need to get familiar with the notion of classical complexity and big-O notation. For this, I recommend:

After getting a good grasp about classical complexity theory, you can start diving into quantum complexity theory. I recommend the following texts:
