> what is programming a quantum computer like? You compose a series of gates that manipulate the state qbits to perform calculation. My understanding is that these gates can be abstracted in a somewhat familiar programming language environment. I've got a very rudimentary understanding, my crude summary would be: it's basically applied linear algebra, leveraging the properties of superposition to perform some types of computations more efficiently. Namely, reducing some search spaces to sqrt n. This video is a good hands on intro: https://youtu.be/F_Riqjdh2oM https://youtu.be/F_Riqjdh2oM
