Is there a wrestling metaphor for quantum computing and why does it actually work - done this yourself

[GhostRider41]

Q: Can you explain quantum computing using wrestling?

A: Better than you might think. A classical computer is a wrestler who knows exactly one move. He either pins you or he does not. A qubit is a wrestler in mid-air between the ropes and the mat. Until he lands he is neither winning nor losing, he is in superposition of both outcomes. The crowd observing him is the measurement that forces him to land.

Entanglement is tag team wrestling where the two partners are so in sync that the moment one gets pinned the other falls simultaneously across the ring without anyone touching them. Einstein watched this match and called it spooky. The referee could not explain it either

I came here to laugh and ended up understanding entanglement better than I did after the explainer thread

The tag team entanglement bit is genuinely the best analogy I have heard and I have a physics degree

What is error correction in this metaphor

[Quanta]

Error correction is the corner team. Three trainers watching the match calling out corrections to stop small mistakes becoming a pin fall. The catch is the trainers are themselves slightly drunk so you need a lot of them

[Mike80]

Decoherence is the ref accidentally bumping into the wrestler mid move and making him land wrong

[Wandering Matt]

Grover's algorithm is the wrestler who has seen every match ever filmed and can find the winning move in half the time by recognising patterns

[Phil]

Shor's algorithm is the wrestler who can simultaneously try every combination on a combination lock padlocking the cage door and open it before the other guy even finds the lock

This thread has done more for quantum literacy than six months of serious articles

Someone tell Google and IBM to hire whoever wrote this for their communications team
