Resources on Quantum Information

-Chris Monroe's Trapped-Ion quantum computation group at Maryland-JQI
Introductory examples, publications and other resources. See Thesis section
for some very good background material
http://iontrap.umd.edu/

-John Preskill's (Caltech) Quantum Information Notes. Very thorough explanation
of various topics in QI, (one of the best free resources available)
