I don’t know the half of it, but if you can use quantum for offense, then it can also be used for defense. No?
Discussion
It’s more complex than that… it’s more like you cannot escape a pre organized outcome and the outcome continuously collapses and reorganizes in a more harmonious way but at such a tiny scale we both can and cannot even observe it
The machines their using and calling quantum computers are not actually quantum computers
They’re observable logical quibits (taken from thousands of noisy ones), placed into a super controlled environment (insanely cold vacuums) and “ran” (hard to describe what’s actually happening in our language) to produce fluctuating states that may or may not give us an outcome we desire… and to us it appears as totally random but at the quantum scale randomness doesn’t really exist… physical 3D reality has an inherent observation effect and when we observe an outcome we produce it but it doesn’t necessarily mean we were even successful…
Which I know is very weird to wrap our minds around because we’re used to operating in traditional, sequential design models where we have cause A creating effect B
But in a quantum state cause A and cause B are actually not separate or linear/sequential at all… they are parallel
Have you read the beginning of infinity and fabric of reality?
I have not!
It’s written by the “father of quantum” and his most interesting and ridiculous explanation is: if the computing isn’t happening in our universe, then it must be happening in other universes. Parallel processing at the multiverse scale!
His question was: where else would the computing happen if we can’t observe it here???
That blew my mind.
Interesting! No, I haven’t read that. I know there’s quite a few books that attempt to capture quantum theory that looks interesting… I’ll add it to my ever growing list of books
:) I came to quantum from a weird angle (hardware constraints/obsession) so some of the more theoretical stuff is definitely missing in my background
Yes it’s highly philosophical. I still don’t understand half the things, but I have to say it was by far the best explanation of quantum I’ve encountered. Definitely worth the time.
I appreciate the recommendation, book recs are on of my favorite things in life :) 🫂 I v much enjoy the philosophical
They're using a side universe? Like BitVM? 😄
