Michael Nielsen's Free Video Courseware On Quantum Computing
New submitter quax writes "Michael Nielsen, who co-authored the book on Quantum Computing, released a set of short video lectures on his blog this summer (link to Google cache). They make a great introduction to the subject. But here's the catch: Due to other work responsibilities, he stopped short of completing the course, and will only complete it if he sees enough interest in the videos. Let's show him some numbers."
Let's have this post as a placeholder for all the Heisenberg and Schrodinger superposition jokes that show up in every single quantum computer story. Thanks!
Do you want the jokes or not? You can't have it both ways.
In quantum mechanics, you can. But only as long as you don't look.
The Tao of math: The numbers you can count are not the real numbers.
I can't use it anymore though. Every time I've tried to read from it, my cat dies.
Something must be wrong with your drive. Your cat should only die half the time.

Actually, on average only every 18th time the cat should die. Yes, half the time the cat will lose its life. However, everyone knows that cats have nine lives.
