    Yeah, it's really interesting. Seems like a scalable general purpose machine (what could break RSA encryption) is a long way off, but probably within our lifetimes. If you're interested in learning it, Scott Aaronson and his students have put together a textbook based on his lecture notes, only prerequisite is basic linear algebra. He's a raging lib but absolutely unmatched when it comes to technical exposition.
