Quantum Computers. Not like I'm five, but like I'm a software engineer who has a pretty decent understanding of how a classical turing machine works. I can't tell you how many times I've heard someone say "qubits are like bits except they don't have to be just 1 or 0" without providing any coherent explanation of how that's useful. I've also heard that they can try every possible solution to a problem. What I don't understand is how a programmer is supposed to determine the correct solution when their computer is out in some crazy multiverse. I guess what I want is some pseudo code for quantum software.

Pseudo-code for quantum computers is currently linear algebra. Fortunately, most programmers have the required linear algebra to get a thorough understanding of the basics! Check this out https://quantum.country/qcvc. Fair warning, I did have to brush up on my linear algebra a bit, but it's worth it imo. Friends in the know say that when you understand this article, you understand quantum computers.
