This 88-minute talk by Andrew Helwer, Microsoft, discards hand-wavy pop-science metaphors and answers a simple question: from a computer science perspective, how can a quantum computer outperform a classical computer?
Viewers will learn the following:
– Representing computation with basic linear algebra (matrices and vectors)
– The computational workings of qbits, superposition, and quantum logic gates
– Solving the Deutsch oracle problem: the simplest problem where a quantum computer outperforms classical methods
– Bonus topics: quantum entanglement and teleportation
The talk concludes with a live demonstration of quantum entanglement on a real-world quantum computer, and a demo of the Deutsch oracle problem implemented in Q# with the Microsoft Quantum Development Kit. This talk assumes no prerequisite knowledge, although comfort with basic linear algebra (matrices, vectors, matrix multiplication) will ease understanding.

For some reason, it seems to me that ready-made textbooks are not always relevant. In this sense, I trust blogs that are run by development companies and specialists more. For example, I recently read about React Alternatives, and I really enjoy learning about new technologies here.
