Quantum theory has acquired a reputation as an impenetrable theory accessible only after acquiring a significant theoretical physics background. One of the lessons of quantum computing is that this is not necessarily true: quantum computing can be learned without mastering vast amounts of physics, but instead by learning a few simple differences between quantum and classical information.
A well written article in the CACM.
There's also slides for a talk by Rob Pike on the same topic.
