[CS] Quantum computer solves problem, without running

[Lee Spector]

Jaime, Elton, et al.,

The slides for a version of my quantum computing tutorial are at:

     http://hampshire.edu/lspector/GECCO-2003-Tutorial.htm

I'm not sure that they'll make sense without explanation though --  
the part most relevant to the news story is the part about the  
"photon-triggered bomb," though actually I'm pretty sure that that  
WON'T make much sense without explanation. I do, however, explain the  
same stuff in the first couple of chapters of my book, Automatic  
Quantum Computer Programming: A Genetic Programming Approach (http:// 
hampshire.edu/lspector/aqcp/). The Hampshire library has a copy, but  
if it's checked out then I can send an electronic copy of the  
relevant chapters.
