What makes a quantum advantage structurally possible?

I want to understand quantum computation beyond its vocabulary: which mathematical structures make a genuinely different kind of algorithm possible?

This remains an exploratory question rather than a claim of expertise. I have started exploring quantum computing more seriously through my college courses this semester, moving from physical intuition toward the mathematical objects and algorithms whose advantage can be stated precisely.
