What’s your take on quantum.

They say it’s breaking away from binary and that it will use entanglement and superposition. The idea of qubits blows my mind have u seen the representation of one. It can hold four states in one 🤯. I still dont understand the use case application capabilities. Any ideas?

It's simple. Everything in the universe is a fractal. Everything that's happening on a massive scale, is also happenin in quantum scale.

Universe isn't self-similar across all scales. How Quantum mechanics governs smallest scales (Planck length for instance) is very differently from how gravity dominates large scales (Cosmic Horizon), whereas true mathematical fractals are infinite in both directions.

Fractals can be good models for understanding certain cosmic structures, they're more of an approximation than a fundamental property due to the Universe's randomness and irregularities

@Northwest Why do you think the Universe is randomness?

There isn’t really one that’s the problem outside of a few niche uses that I’ve forgotten.

It’s cool but not very useful.
@PalteseMalconFunch yeah I you might be right. Then there’s the power it would need

@userfawkes1105 Like it sounds really awesome but like 0s and 1s work really well.

It’s going to be revolutions in using multiple cores that push things forward, quantum computing is a good thing, we will learn so much from trying, but will ultimately not lead to much more than that.

Most of it hype for the public to keep them going investing. Which is an ultimate good but QC will never be the game changer people think it will.

But something else will be that game changer and we probably learned that from QC research.

Quantum mechanics? Quantum Entanglement?

A qubit can exist in an infinite number of possible states.
@Northwest quantum computing it will store a qubit as a 01001 equivalent but how it holds ties to super position and other qubits is just crazy to fathom for me.

@userfawkes1105 Not sure I understand what you're proposing/asking.

Are you saying that a qubit is stored as a 01001?

A qubit is not stored as a binary string like 01001. A qubit is a quantum bit that exists in a quantum superposition of states, typically represented as:

|ψ⟩ = α|0⟩ + β|1⟩

Where:

- α and β are complex numbers called probability amplitudes

- |α|² + |β|² = 1 (total probability must equal 1)

- |0⟩ and |1⟩ are the basis states (analogous to classical 0 and 1)

Unlike classical bits which must be either 0 or 1, a qubit can exist in both states simultaneously until measured.

When measured, the qubit "collapses" into either state 0 or 1 with probabilities determined by |α|² and |β|² respectively.

This quantum superposition property is one of the key features that gives quantum computers their unique capabilities compared to classical computers that use conventional binary bits.
