Watch this. Pretty simple, ultimately:

P.S. welcome to some actual computer science. |
Yes, all of QM is basically just linear algebra, and in simple systems (what Quantum Computing is TRYING to achieve, through lots of dirty work hiding the details so you can reason about the results), states are sort of like vectors and operators are sort of like matrices. But you have to be careful with this analogy outside of the well-curated states of QC, since generally states transform under different algebras (even simple things like spinors). Anyway this is getting way off topic
