- Quantum mechanics is a wave theory, and once you look at it as a wave theory 99% of its weirdness completely disappears. (The "wavefunction collapse" is the only part that is not about waves, and also the only part that is genuinely weird.)
- Most quantum computer scientists obliviate the fact that complex numbers are just a compact way to represent the wave function. Waves mean something to most people. Complex numbers, not so much.
