I generate my data in C++ and I pass it to the Fortran code which does all the computation part. I repeat this a number of times and try to implement parallel execution...
I can advise you the following : if you want to know how a processor works, you need less electronics and more Computer Architecture courses, i.e. more of the functional aspects of the logic circuits.
These two courses were good, but you will need more to understand how a processor works. How...
http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/qt-quantcomp/" will interest you then.
From what I'm aware of, if you want to study quantum computing you should know several subjects:
- some basic paradigms in quantum mechanics
- information theory (classical, quantum information, quantum cryptography...
