I can barely do regular computing, that sounds terrifying.
My discrete math class nearly got our professor to drop the lecture he was giving us and tell us how a quantum computer works.
I have trouble wrapping my head around the qubit. On or off I get, but 4 states?

On or off I get, but 4 states?Basically, classical computers represent data as bits, which can either be 1 or 0. In quantum computers, we use qubits, which can be both 1 and 0 simultaneously. The problem quantum computing faces is that if a system is disrupted by the "outside world", it loses its quantumness, and as computers kinda require interaction with the outside world, that makes it difficult to build a quantum computer.

Like a guy sitting on a horse in the old west contemplating low Earth orbit satellites. As far as the whole quantum gobblygook goes... I'll take your word for it

I'll take your word for itQuantum computers can solve problems faster than classical supercomputers. Quantum computers would be really useful in medicine to analyse proteins and shit so we can make better medicines. Also quantum computing has use in weather forecasting to make super accurate predictions and also artificial intelligence.A potential problem with it is that the current method of encryption we use for electronic services would be rendered useless against quantum computers. So we need to develop some new encryption algorithms that are secure against quantum computers.
