Been trying for the longest time, I still don’t understand how quantum computing work. It’s always something-something tries all possible combinations and viola, your answer.

Every quantum algorithm is a unitary operation in a Hilbert space. If you want to understand the theory then you will have to do the actual work of learning about Hilbert spaces and unitary operators.
