What Makes Quantum Computing so Hard to Explain?
I approach this as a public service and almost my moral duty as a quantum computing researcher. The reality is that even if you removed all the bad incentives and the greed, quantum computing would still be hard to explain briefly and honestly without math. This is what I’ve come to think of as the fundamental misstep of quantum computing popularization, the one that leads to all the rest. Note that, after explaining all this, I still haven’t said a word about the practical difficulty of building quantum computers. Once someone understands these concepts, I’d say they’re ready to start reading — or possibly even writing — an article on the latest claimed advance in quantum computing.

Why AWS Could Own The Future of Quantum Computing
There is a lot of learning but not much in the way of a viable business, according to the GM of AWS Braket service, Richard Moulds. The message we got was we needed to deliver a consistent multi-technology platform around quantum computing that gets around all this jumping. We wanted to build a platform for quantum computing, not a showcase for a particular technology,” Moulds explains. This kind of deep competitive understand can also come in handy if and when quantum computing blows up enough for AWS to truly leverage the Braket service at meaningful scale. “The moment quantum computing does something interesting in a provable fashion there will be a landslide of demand.

a Buyer’s Guide to Quantum as a Service: Qubits For Hire
A quantum computing (QC) service is hard enough to understand when it's explained to you plainly. Here's the general idea: The first quantum computing (QC) services, or quantum-like services, being offered to commercial customers are experiments. When a programmer specifies a quantum circuit using cQASM, the Quantum Inspire editor generates a graph of the circuit, like the simple one above. It's one of the visual tools used to generate an expression of a quantum circuit -- in quantum terms, to generate a Hamiltonian. The effort stemmed from founder William "Whurley" Hurley's work as chair of the IEEE's Quantum Computing Working Group.
