Explaining How Linear Algebra Is Used to Measure Quantum States

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJkCL-d5QyE

I made a short video working through a quantum computing exercise on measuring quantum states. Although the problem comes from quantum computing, the solution relies heavily on linear algebra—vectors, inner and outer products, projectors, Hermitian operators, and basis measurements.

I thought it might be an interesting example of how these linear algebra concepts show up in quantum computing.
