    "which are used extensively in quantum computing to represent quantum states and operations on them.\n",
    "This tutorial doesn't come close to covering the full breadth of the topic, but it should be enough to get you comfortable with the main concepts of linear algebra used in quantum computing.\n",

    "* Matrices and vectors\n",
