No lol, just step back and re-observe Bitcoin. A UTXO has an identical nature to a qubit, but it is stored in the form of classical bits.

- Particles exist in definitive locations, as probability distributions & “excitations” of information. A UTXO is a particle that exists in a definitive space (address).

- Superpostion: UTXOs are in a perpetual state of “spendability” (0 & 1) until blocks are mined in which each UTXO state is confirmed as unspent (0) or spent (1). This is a probability distribution based on mempool states, fees and UTXO age, but we don’t know until blocks are mined.

- Entanglement: UTXOs can be sent to infinite addresses, split innumerable ways, interact with other UTXOs; infinite possibilities, identical to QM.

- Mining is the literal measurement of # of hashes for a valid nonce, which collapses the indeterministic potential block into a single deterministic state; which also sets the “direction” of the measurement for a UTXO (spent or unspent).

- Time is quantized into discrete thermodynamic events (Blocks) preserving the temporal direction with a cohesive and interactive timespace. All past UTXO (particle) states are conserved in time from Genesis.

Is it plausible Satoshi solved the decoherence problem without anyone knowing for ~16 years?

What effect does centralized ownership of all qubits have on a quantum system? Decentralized ownership of UTXOs in bitcoin.

What effect does centralized storage of qubits have on a quantum system? Decentralized nodes storing the entire memory state in bitcoin.

What effect does a centralized measurement of the qubits have on a quantum system? Decentralized mining in bitcoin prevents a single observer/measurement.

How does consensus rules affect a quantum system? Decentralized participants opting in to a ruleset.

To me, it appears physicists are trying to build a centralized version of Bitcoin. Why?

Let’s go back to source, from a physics lens, what does a “Peer to peer electronic cash system” actually mean?
