Thanks for the description but that made very little sense to a 'regular' developer like me. Any chance you could break it down and bring it down to my level?

You should check out these videos, one of them might give you an understanding!

These are videos I particularly like!

Quantum Computation and Quantum Information, a.k.a "Mike and Ike" is the authoritative textbook in the field. It also happens to be very readable and beginner friendly. It's well worth reading the introduction to QC in the first twelve pages and skimming the first sixty. And the rest, as time/interest permits.

I recommend the textbook Quantum Computing for Computer Scientists.

I would also have to recommend "Quantum Mechanics, The Theoretical Minimum" by Leonard Susskind, if you wish to go a little bit further into general quantum mechanics

This sounds snide, but please believe me my intention is to be helpful.

Have you considered instead raising your level? The relevant topic, as stated in the comment, is linear algebra.

My experience with linear algebra is that it's possible to get an excellent grade in class, without learning anything, provided the tests are multiple choice...
