Over the last century, quantum has grown from quantum mechanics, with explanatory power, to quantum engineering which has ushered in a wave of new commercial technology. Just as computers have become an integral part of the scientific tool set, quantum computation is likely to become equally impactful in the future. As this new technology grows in adoption and usage, a wider array of engineers and scientists are need with familiarity with quantum. The goal of this talk is to introduce concept and tools that are appropriate for anyone with elementary but solid mathematical training. Even without linear algebra, the core concepts of quantum can be exposed using a novel introduction of key concepts as an extension of probability theory. After reframing standard textbook examples, we will turn our attention towards of likely and unlikely application areas for quantum computers. While sometimes the promises of this new technology are oversold, we have reached the era of so-called quantum supremacy where quantum computers can perform (presently contrived) tasks that cannot be done classically. Our emphasis on pedagogy of quantum has led to the creation of online platform, qbraid.com, which allows users to both interface with actual quantum hardware as well as learn the basics of quantum technology. In total, this talk is my invitation for you to join the quantum technological revolution
