Re:'Unprecedented' discovery could propel quantum computers ... by Jach on Friday July 06, 2012 @11:41AM (#4208202)
Someone mentioned Shor's Algorithm, here's a better writeup compared to the rather nebulous wiki page: http://www.scottaaronson.com/blog/?p=208

He has another good post on quantum computing here: http://www.scottaaronson.com/blog/?p=266

Feynman's QED is a good book for a general feel of quantum electrodynamics.

This long sequence may help fix your intuition when it comes to quantum things: http://lesswrong.com/lw/r5/the_quantum_physics_sequence/ (Stuff after the basics is optional but recommended.)
