Our general topics:

• Hilbert spaces and quantum mechanics.
• Tensor products and entangled quantum states.
• Quantum bits (qubits), the physics of computation, elements of quantum computing.
• Tractability of computation (e.g., factoring and boolean satisfiability).
• Models for quantum computing.
• Suggestions for practical implementations of quantum computers.
• Problems and prospects.

"There was a time when the newspapers said that only 12 men understood the theory of relativity. I do not believe there ever was such a time. There might have been a time when only 1 man did, because he was the only guy who caught on, before he wrote his paper. But after people read the paper a lot of people understood the theory of relativity in some way or other, certainly more than 12. On the other hand, I think I can safely say that nobody understands quantum mechanics"
