I want to learn about quantum computers...but where is the best???

<p>I want to learn about quantum computers...but where is the best place to learn it???
Also, how about AI?? Artificial Intelligence systems???
I think I'll be going to IIT my first year... any suggestions on where to go if I want to learn more about this??</p>

<p>Do you already have a B.S degree. If so go into a PHD program in Physics, EE or Optical Engineering with a professor who has interest in that area.</p>

<p>If you don't already have a B.S go into one of them as a undergrad and do some undergrad research and then follow the first step above.</p>

<p>but i just want to learn how to program a quantum computer</p>

<p>They don't exist yet and thus no one's programmed one yet. If you want to do research in the device-level physics for building quantum computers, specialize in solid state physics (usually in the EE or physics department). There's not much else you can do for now.</p>

<p>Log on to the Boston Computer Society book store web page. </p>

<p>There are lots of books on Quantum Computers</p>

<p>do you guys know where there are good universities that could teach or where i will be able to acquire these skills?</p>

<p>Quantum Computers are mainly a graduate level topic. If you search around the MIT OCW site, you might find some courses of interest.</p>

<p>Free</a> Online Course Materials | MIT OpenCourseWare</p>

<p>EDIT: Found one, but requires previous knowledge of quantum mechanics: MIT</a> OpenCourseWare | Media Arts and Sciences | MAS.865J Quantum Information Science, Spring 2006 | Home</p>

<p>You could learn a thing or two Quantum</a> Logic Explorer Home Page, I haven't bothered with that section of the site personally, but you may find it relevant to your interest.</p>
