it sounds more complex than it is. general idea is that everything is a state machine, and the quantum realm is where the set of “allowed” state transitions are explored (hence the name branch-ial, they branch furiously)
where the branches actually move is what “matters” (get it? matter/material world)
time is the weird moment of collapse of the branchial to the material (i think, kinda guesstimating)
quantum computers are clever because in the material world you have to physically explore every path of a problem; the quantum realm of branches moves at a tremendously faster rate comparatively (in path exploration) than materially needing to calculate every state
being able to frame questions such that you can access the branching process of particles is an enormous speed up for searching a problem space
i personally think that all of this is a poor makeshift for misunderstanding ergodicity at a scale that cannot be measured due to the scale of the smallest possible measuring device
ergodicity is the tendency of a system to explore all possible states but within the cycle of time in which this occurs you cannot predict when you will sample the data and thus it appears "random"
this kind of opacity also exists with the difficulty adjustment of bitcoin
it's not that the number of miners is in a schoedinger's box, it's that you are prevented from measuring it and even if you tried people would hide it from you and then DING they get a solution and suddenly you learn about miners you didn't know exist
Am I unintentionally blocking the self expression of others.
