| Mar 2, 2023 at 22:41 | comment | added | Mauricio | I think the best is to talk about numbers, how $n$ classical bits can "hold" less information than $n$ qubits. | |

| Mar 1, 2023 at 1:55 | comment | added | rhundt | I'd think Quantum Teleportation might catch your audience's attention. Not only does the algorithm have a super cool name, entanglement itself is sure to amaze. It amazes me every time I think about it. | |
| Feb 28, 2023 at 18:28 | comment | added | Callum | Hi qwerty, I think you mean an speedup in principle right? Rather than actual advantage achievable with current technology? You can show on paper that Grover's algorithm offers a speedup over classical search algorithms. However you can't yet beat classical computers with Grover's algorithm as the quantum computers themselves are not advanced enough to run it for a large enough search problem. | |
