How to Explain Quantum Computing to Your Grandma
summary
Explains what a quantum computer is, what it can be used for, how it works, and the engineering challenges to build one, focusing on intuitive concepts rather than technical detail. Uses simple intuition and a collective experiment to make quantum computing understandable and repeatable for a nontechnical audience (e.g., explaining it so you could tell your grandmother).
