This looks really cool, though it goes way over my head. Is there an ELI5 somewhere that explains what this is?



I’ve begun to put together useful resources for learning more here: https://quantumjavascript.app/resources.html

I’d like to really flesh out that page; I’ve now come across so many folks that are amazing at explaining this stuff... It’s just a time crunch to juggle all this as you might imagine ;)

These two videos in particular helped me get started:

1. What is a physical quantum computer? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OWJCfOvochA

2. How might one compute using it? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_Riqjdh2oM


It simulates a simple model of a quantum computer, so that you can implement and test out quantum algorithms, albeit at potentially huge computational cost.

quantum.country is a good introduction to quantum computing for people with no background other than linear algebra. Even if you don't understand linear algebra you could probably skim it and get a sense for what's going on.
