Scientists achieve 'magic state' quantum computing breakthrough 20 years in the making — quantum computers can never be truly useful without it

I'm definitely gonna need a translation of this into something comprehensible to those of us that only understand classical computing. I get the evolution of binary and logic gates from mechanical computing, to vacuum tubes, to semiconductors, to nanometer miniaturized transistors. I understand (but could not possibly write) how machine language has increasing layers of complexity and eventually becomes human interpretable instructions. I understand shared cache and multiple cores and how that formed a generational leap over clock speed.
I have no idea what the fuck this article is talking about. At all.
