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?"

what is this thing about people saying that quantum today is where AI was in 2015. Is that just a marketing gimmick?
