Not quite what I meant. I think the comic is excellent. In case its not painfully obvious, the joke is equating lay people's poor understanding of quantum mechanics to a child's misunderstanding of sex. It's not trying to dumb down the concept of quantum computers at all, it's just trying to point out how incorrect how dumb pop science simplifications of it are. The 'qubits are bits with a range of value between 0 and 1 that use quantum magic to test all possibilities at once' is utter fiction.

Well my point is Gp is asking for good material for explaining the subject, this comic is not it. I found it only irritating Tbh.
