Such an interesting subject. Anyone have any pointers to the most interesting post-quantum algorithms?

I have next to zero understanding of how quantum computers are supposed to work. Does anyone have something like an intro into QC "for dummies"? I want to grasp this subject.

The paper http://arxiv.org/abs/0708.0261 is a reasonably good introduction with a fair amount of math.

If you're looking for a non-technical overview, you might try https://uwaterloo.ca/institute-for-quantum-computing/quantum... but I don't think English alone is precise enough to explain anything really interesting about quantum computing.

I liked this presentation at CCC: https://media.ccc.de/browse/congress/2014/31c3_-_6261_-_en_-...
