Could you perhaps recommend some book on computational complexities? My CS curriculum back then mostly included the usual Chomsky hierarchy, but was quite lean on anything other than P/NP, and most books I found were also mostly about the “basics”.


"Quantum Computing Since Democritus" mentioned in the other answer is definitely good fun, but I find it a bit tricky in places and it very much has a quantum skew. If you're after a textbook reference, then I really like Papadimitriou's Computational Complexity (no longer in print, but used copies/library copies are about) or Arora and Barak's Computational Complexity for something a bit more modern with a nice coverage.


Not the parent but I really enjoyed Scott Aaronson's "Quantum Computing Since Democritus":
