Reading this, I couldn't help but recall Feynman's quote: "If you think you understand quantum mechanics, you don't understand quantum mechanics."

I love cussing and discussing quantum theory / physics / computing. And Feynman is 100% right.

I would suggest Aaronsons' "Quantum Computing since Democritus" for a different (mathematically rigorous) take. There is a lot of understanding we have found out since Feynman made that statement.
Currently reading The Undivided Universe (Bohm, Hiley), recommend. More intuition, less "think"ing
