Heh sure, I still AM ignorant actually :).   I respect everybody who tries
to learn, and I will encourage anybody to do so.  But if I had to choose a
method for somebody to learn QM, I'd first have him learn some maths and
then start on a book like Morrison's.  I just don't like the cross between
science fiction and real science that is so popular.

He started 8-P

Anyway, I agree, let's stop it.  Stefano and I never agree anyway ;)

Have a look at:

If you have nothing better to do, you might start porting ;)
For introductory as well as advanced tutorials on quantum computing, see

I'm full of expectations for the spec :)
