I do know that there used to be a simulator for a quantum computer
that was available as a package in Debian. Perhaps you can try it
out.
Just to add to Kapil's post, I do not know enough about current
syllabus, but linear algebra, probability and statistics are critical in
understanding QC.
Further, Quantum computing is a very different thing from quantum
storage and quantum cryptography. Pick the right area of interest :)
As far as QC is concerned, we have algorithms for searching, sorting and
string matching. (Incidentally, one of the string matching algorithms is
from IISC, Bangalore).
If you are interested in storage, read the Feynman's essay "There is
plenty of room at the bottom" *
