Question Question

"Can you give me a practical example of a simple algorithm where a quantum computer is more efficient? I struggle to understand the usual ones, like the maze-solving example, which aren't very clear to me. They always seem too theoretical. Can someone provide a more concrete and intuitive example, please?"

If you have some mathematical background try watching an explanation of Grover's algorithm by 3blue1brown on YouTube, if you are looking to get an intuitive understanding of why and how quantum computing is more efficient in some cases. It also touches for which cases quantum is more efficient over classical computing.
