I realize this, I’m simply questioning if the fear of quantum is rational and if quantum encryption is necessary.

From the POV of the good folks developing Quantum Encryption right now, you mean? Yes, it is rational . And yes, it is necessary.

Hmm I still don’t see why it is rational.

I am hung up why anyone believes that decoherence can be solved from the centralization of a singular computer and a single observer.

Their reliance on external classical timing systems or unitary operations force implicit bias into the system; an external deterministic schedule into a fundamentally probabilistic system.

Additionally they require an artificial environment and error correction codes creating abstraction layers. You are only interacting with a simulated ideal; “don’t worry about the noise, just trust our error correction” is what it sounds like to me.

What am I missing? Why is this a threat? It seems more about convincing people the threat is real rather than any demonstrated proof. Fear is the biggest motivator of action. 🤷‍♂️
