I suppose electrical engineering plays two roles in quantum computing. The first role is that generally all quantum hardware needs a stack of various classical components for the control and readout of qubits, like any physics experiment. But I imagine you are more interested in something like superconducting qubits, where electrical circuits themselves form the qubits in use. If this is the case, as far as textbooks go, I can suggest "Quantum Engineering: Theory and Design of Quantum Coherent Structures" by A.M. Zagoskin, which provides ample details on Josephson junctions, circuit quantum electrodynamics (cQED), and quantum noise, though it's a bit of a deep dive if you are new to this stuff. There are a lot of review papers on these topics as well, that are arguably a better way to learn the subject.
The same group from MIT has a couple other very nice review articles, such as "Superconducting Qubits: Current State of Play", which focuses on recent research and results in the field (various gates, qubit designs, algorithm demonstration, etc.) and "3D integration and packaging for solid-state qubits" which goes into everything that sits between the qubits and the data traces on our computers.
If you want to know more about quantizing circuits and how to actually get qubits out of inductors, Josephson junctions, capacitors, etc., then check out "Introduction to Quantum Electromagnetic Circuits", which is one of the original reviews on cQED.
There are several ways to start learning electronics engineering on your own. One option is to enroll in online courses or tutorials that provide a structured curriculum and hands-on projects. You can also find books or resources online that cover the fundamentals of electronics engineering. Additionally, you can join online communities or forums where you can ask questions and learn from experienced engineers.
Before starting to learn electronics engineering, it is important to have a basic understanding of mathematics, physics, and basic circuit analysis. These concepts are the building blocks of electronics and will help you understand more complex concepts in the future.
To start learning electronics engineering, you will need some basic tools and equipment such as a breadboard, resistors, capacitors, LEDs, jumper wires, and a multimeter. You can also invest in a soldering iron and a basic electronics kit to practice building circuits and projects.
The best way to practice and apply what you learn in electronics engineering is to work on hands-on projects. You can find project ideas online or come up with your own. Start with simple projects and gradually increase the complexity as you gain more knowledge and skills.
The time it takes to learn electronics engineering on your own can vary depending on your dedication, previous knowledge, and learning pace. With consistent practice and effort, you can start to understand the basics within a few months. However, mastering electronics engineering is an ongoing process and may take years of continuous learning and practice.

Newnes Electronics Engineer's Pocket Book is a unique reference source - concise but comprehensive, and designed to be an essential tool for a wide range of engineers and electronics enthusiasts. This is a book written to be used, not to gather dust on a shelf, so unlike most reference books it is designed for the workshop and lab. This compendium includes: component data, IC pin-outs, tables, formulae, principles of circuit design, circuit diagrams and a substantial glossary of terms. The second edition includes expanded material on circuit design covering amplifiers, bridge circuits, filters and lasers. The editor of the second edition is the late Joe Carr, who was a leading US electronics author who had written numerous published books and magazine articles, including several titles with Newnes. This book was originally compiled by the leading electronics author Keith Brindley, incorporating the previous Newnes Pocket Books, Newnes Radio and Electronics Pocket Book and Newnes Electronics Pocket Book.
I've played with some Arduino projects and had a good time learning some basic things. However, I'm totally in awe of the underlying lower-level detail (electronics / electrical engineering) that makes an Arduino controller/board work. I think I need some foundational learning so I can understand the basics of some of these complex circuits.
What books can I use for a introduction to the whole world of electronics? I'd like to even go so far as to understand how code can be converted into machine code and then uploaded to a controller, and executed. Or, if I took a module such as a Bluetooth receiver module and I read the datasheet, how can I begin understanding how to integrate such a component within a larger circuit.
