    So simple explanation for such a complicated thing. Great.

    The best video on quantum computing for lehman till date

    You might want to put a QR code that leads to the play store at the end of the video to make it easy to get the app.

    One thing that’s a bit misleading: the main reason some calculations take too long to feasibly do normally isn’t due to bit strings getting huge, but that you often have to do the same calculations repeatedly over the whole of an incredibly large search space. That’s why quantum computers can do them faster: they can do many of the calculations at once.

    Any chance you would release a version for Linux? The Windows version running under wine mostly works, but the login screen is broken. I guess you're using some multiplatform framework already, as you've got Windows and Mac versions. If it's not too much work, it would definitely be nice to have one for Linux too.

    typo in description: "... how goes playing games help..." "goes" should be "does"

    Amazing video, I'll throw away the Sørensen paper.

    This video is quite odd. The narrator's voice timbre (tone quality) paired with the xylophone background music are an unusual combination. They distract from the words spoken. It might have helped if the producer had allowed a few people to review this before posting it. The aural distraction is reminiscent of so many ads in recent years with a ukulele playing in the background, seemingly trying to convey some mood of comic pleasure, light-heartedness or happiness. In this video, the voice-music pairing does not convey anything particularly. It's simply distracting, like a nail screeching on a blackboard.
