ELI5: How can superdense coding allow for 2 traditional bits to be stored in 1 qubit?
gpt
A normal bit can be *either* a zero *or* a one, so you need two bits to hold each value. A quantum bit can be *both* a zero *and* a one (like shrodingers cat being both dead and alive). Unfortunately beyond that, there isn't really an ELI5-able explanation for quantum mechanics.
