Quantum Computation for the Clumsy

So, you think you know quantum mechanics? Ha! You probably don't. Let us break it down for you, step by step.

What is quantum computation, you ask? It's the art of using quantum mechanics to solve problems that are way too hard for classical computers. Like, seriously, they can't even handle this much math:

But don't worry, we've got you covered. Our Quantum Computation Crash Course will take you from "what's this 'superposition' thing?" to "I can simulate a quantum computer in my basement!" in just a few clicks (or, you know, pages).

Learn about superposition, the fundamental principle of quantum mechanics that will blow your mind.

Learn about entanglement, the reason why you can't have a secret handshake with your quantum computer.
