Michael Nielsen himself! Thanks for the pointer to your gentler introduction. Though i did my B.Sc. Honours in Chemistry decades ago (before switching to CS) i might have to bone up on the requisite mathematics, which is fine.

Given your experience in this domain; i would appreciate your take on Quantum Computing hype vs. reality? There is a lot of contradictory information like for example; The Case Against Quantum Computing - https://spectrum.ieee.org/the-case-against-quantum-computing

Do you think quantum computing will ever become mainstream? Will the "common folk" be able to program and use it with the same ease with which we do classical computers by using layers of abstractions?
