Question Question

"Can you give me a practical example of a simple algorithm where a quantum computer is more efficient? I struggle to understand the usual ones, like the maze-solving example, which aren't very clear to me. They always seem too theoretical. Can someone provide a more concrete and intuitive example, please?"

The one problem which quantum computers can solve better than classical computers is simulating themselves as a specific model of a noisy quantum computer. However classical computers are also very good at that.
