An Entertaining Introduction to Quantum Computing
summary
Explains qubits, superposition, measurement and entanglement with concrete claims: classical simulation tops out around 40–50 electron orbitals, 2^53 hits RAM limits and 2^300 exceeds atoms in the universe. Demonstrations include a Minecraft‑like teaching game KisKit Blocks (puzzles that place H and X gates), a Grover notebook for SAT, a VQE max‑cut example and a portfolio optimizer, and running circuits on the IBM Quantum Experience real noisy backends — all built and shown working at NISQ scale.
