For the super techies out there that really get the quantum stuff.
What makes a quantum computer more powerful than a classical computer? It’s a surprisingly subtle question that physicists are still grappling with, decades into the quantum age.

This is a short history of quantum science by decades with names of the amazing scientist working on their quantum craft.

When they talk about "Entanglement-free quantum circuit", "Clifford gates" and "T gates", I'm used to the usual "And, Not, Nor, Nand" and so on gates used in circuits.

It's like each trade has their own set of words that are clearly to define intricate small gadgets or processes to large and far reaching calculations or mechanical systems that work because each small part engages in like a symphony for it to work.
I'm glad you found it interesting. I thought you might because of your talented skills and experiences with circuits.
