Does anyone have any reccomendations for good colleges to study at for graduate study in quantum computing?

I am hoping to pursue quantum computing after I am finished with undergraduate school, and would like to start gathering information, so I can know my options.

Thanks!

Somewhat similar question - Does anyone know where you can get on line courses in graduate math or relativity? I would love to "bone up" on tensors, general relativity, astrophy...... But I cann't really leave home and family.

Thanks,
Dennis

I know nothing of the field,

I know nothing of the field, but my wife teaches at Rutgers and I believe they have a strong program based out of DIMACS http://dimacs.rutgers.edu/

I only know generalities but they collaborate with Princeton and Bell Labs, which I guess is now Lucent Technologies along with a bunch of other folks. Again all I've heard is second hand, but if you're doing a nationwide search it'd be worth at least looking into.

John Baez's site is always a good resource for finding answers to questions both mathematical and physical, http://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/README.html
If you follow the Relativity on the World Wide Web link it'll take you to a bunch of online texts for GR and differential geometry. Happy hunting!

You can do it by your self. Buy your self a book on topic of mathematical physics for tensors, I'll recomend 2 books that I used: Mathematical physics by Eugene Butkov (1968), and Mathematical Physics - A Modern Introduction to Its Foundations by Sandri Hassani (1998). For a relativity and astrophysics you shouldn't have any problems finding a good book.

Here's another self-learning resource - MIT's OpenCourseware is "a free and open educational resource for faculty, students, and self-learners around the world. OCW supports MIT's mission to advance knowledge and education, and serve the world in the 21st century."

It is a publication of MIT course materials; does not require any registration; and is not a degree-granting or certificate-granting activity.

Yes, I have don't such things. But what I want is some graduate hours for "professional development". I need to show some hours to get some benifits and would love to do it on line without having to leave home.

Check out these links from the Univ. of Texas World Lecture Hall for college programs that award credit for distance learning courses taken over the web.

reccomendations ->

reccomendations -> recommendations
benifit -> benefit
on line -> online

Are you sure you want to

Are you sure you want to study quantum computing?
I'm nearly finished with grammar school and had also thought about studying physics or something similar. The physic lessons are not so difficult, but some terms are not so easy. If I think about the fact, that it will become more difficult at the university I'm not so sure wheather I want to have difficulties everyday. It may break you?!
