An explanation of quantum computation algorithms without most of the physical maths ... is a lot to digest. I didn't finish reading, nor followed the links to introductory notes. The prospect is neat; Maybe it can avoid some of the handwaving mysteries used in the physical models. Understanding the physics would probably help to avoid misunderstandings for deeper insight, seeing that philosophical sophistery is already far spread, but neither of that should be needed to simulate QM on a classical machine (which is what IBM is offering, as far as I know).
