This report is divided into two tracks, an introductory track and a technical track. Ths introductory track includes a
general introduction and background, introductions to two types of analog (and parallel) quantum computing, and an
overview oriented conclusion. The technical track includes sections on quantum memory, conservative quantum logic,
and quantum algorithm types, including quantum algorithms for the Dirac and Schroedinger quantum mechanical wave
equations, the mesoscopic scale quantum Boltzmann equation, and the quantum algorithms for the diffusion equation,
Burgers equation, magnetohydrodynamic Burgers equations, and the Navier-Stokes fluid equation.
