I disagree. One does not need to know quantum physicr to learn quantum computation, as scott aaronson argues in "quantum computing since democritus". I personally feel I actually understood more quantum physics by playing around with quantum algorithms

It was merely a suggestion, I never said it was necessary. However, in my experience, having knowledge in quantum physics has made it easier for me to read literature related to quantum computing, hence why I suggested it.
