Although the article is difficult, what do you expect, if you don't know the subject? The problem is, we would have to explain a load of of mathematics (already covered in other articles) to get there. It's easier to use a hyperlink. If we write an article about Windows 98, we aren't going to include the whole history of Microsoft, even though you might need to know it, to understand why Win98 was necessary to make, or what came before and after it. Sometimes you have to click your mouse and read.

:A lot can be done to make the article more accessible to nonexperts, or at least to not make it less accessible.
:@[[User:Luca Innocenti|Luca Innocenti]], you recently replaced "non-quantum algorithms" with "classical algorithms", which is physics jargon that many computer scientist do not accept. It is a shorthand for "algorithms using classical rather than quantum physics" but is confusing because the systematic study of "classical algorithms" is more recent than quantum physics (60 years vs 110 years). Would you be open to restoring "non-quantum algorithms", which is clear to most people? Thanks [[User:Qq8|Qq8]] ([[User talk:Qq8|talk]]) 21:48, 31 July 2023 (UTC)
