Conclusion

In order to understand the interviews in this book, and the key inferences from them, it is essential that this chapter is well understood by the reader. For the same reason, I have described the concepts of quantum computing using practical examples, with comparisons to classical computing equivalents. There are a few concepts of quantum computing that are hard to grasp without delving into the underlying physics (if not the math). In such cases, the simplification of the underlying concepts of physics in this chapter would help understand the weirdness in the behavior of microscopic elements that make up a quantum system. The simplified version may make a quantum scientist cringe, but I firmly believe that simplifying the narrative is critical for any technology to go mainstream.
