I agree that the quantum mechanics terms are often more confusing than helpful here. To the point that I wrote a journal article to try to demystify how the algorithm works [1].
If you're familiar with constraint solving, "superposition" is just "the remaining possible choices in the domain" and "entropy" is just describing how to select the next node.
Academics don't make any money from sales of paywalled journal articles. If you click a link to a journal article and hit a paywall, it's usually because whoever shared the link has institutional access to the journal and forgot that the paywall was there (since it effectively isn't for them.)
I wondered why you would link to magazines a while ago, as they're often behind a paywall and the author doesn't get a cut as I understand. Maybe it's for the citations?
Do authors mind sharing the article for free next to the publication link?
