I've taken the quantum track at #Brilliant (actually registered it just because of this track).

After going through it my feeling of the topic is that the psychological impact of mystifying it makes it more complex than the topic itself.

It is just a new computational model, which is a superset of Turing model (a single isolated qubit has computational power of a Turing machine).

I.e. it is a just new board game with its own rules for states and ports. I'd figure that in the early days of computing it felt similar "unreachable" mystery as you had bunch of scientists describing it.

Lately I've had to learns some bits of processing of IR inside LLVM. That is about as complicated as understanding qubits. Engineers will get it when they need it ;-)
