Title: Quantum Computation explained to my Mother
Authors: Pablo Arrighi
Comments: Revtex, 7 pages
\\
  There are many falsely intuitive introductions to quantum theory and 
quantum
computation in a handwave. There are also numerous documents which teach 
those
subjects in a mathematically sound manner. To my knowledge this paper is the
shortest of the latter category. The aim is to deliver a short yet rigorous 
and
self-contained introduction to Quantum Computation, whilst assuming the 
reader
has no prior knowledge of anything but the fundamental operations on real
numbers. Successively I introduce complex matrices; the postulates of quantum
theory and the simplest quantum algorithm. The document originates from a 
fifty
minutes talk addressed to a non-specialist audience, in which I sought to 
take
the shortest mathematical path that proves a quantum algorithm right.
