To me the real quantum computing course was Phil Kaye's Quantum Algorithms course that I attended parts of last year. It was enough to convince me that quantum computing is a real thing and that it's more than just really fast computing. If I were starting a career in computing, that's probably where I'd start. And Kaye knows his stuff cold. Kaye has co-authored the book (284 page PDF) on quantum computing. NRC has worked with him to set up an Applied Quantum Computing program. Kaye's course was unfortunately an in-house course -- I haven't convinced my employers of the value of open scholarship yet (but I keep trying). Meanwhile, I guess you could access these courses, or similar work from Chicago or MIT.
