All
As usual with MIT --nothing is simple
The various links all appear to work -- each is different in specific
content, scope and other matters
1 Quantum Computation:
https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/18-435j-quantum-computation-fall-2003/
2 Quantum Computing Fundamentals:
https://xpro.mit.edu/programs/program-v1:xPRO+QCF/
3 Quantum Computing Realities:
https://xpro.mit.edu/programs/program-v1:xPRO+QCR/
4 MIT Open Learning Library’s collection of free online courses:
https://openlearning.mit.edu/courses-programs
The two with nearly identical titles [ 2, 3] appear to be connected -- in
that they are part of a typical MIT industrial series of 1 week courses
one starts on Sept 30 the other on October 7
1 -- The first one is a significantly older regular MIT course [MIT calls
them subjects]
Finally the last one 4 --- is a link to a page where you can search
through all of the courses and especially the open learning free on-line
courses
Hope that helps a bit
