@cvnt @ceo_of_monoeye_dating @MK2boogaloo @sysrq Not a super expert on it, but the gist is that a normal transistor is either 'on' or 'off'. A quantum computer replaces transistors with atoms that have "spin" (don't ask what spin is literally no one really knows). A single sub atomic particle can either be 'spin up' or 'spin down', same as a transistor's on or off. But if you add a bunch of atoms, you get many combinations. On, off, half on, half off, you get the idea. This means that a single "switch" can communicate more information than a simple on off transistor can.

okay nerd, explain quantum computing before you get shot :gunleft::terryyeah:

@sysrq @ceo_of_monoeye_dating @MK2boogaloo
Ditto; please let it not be some physical property of semiconductors that can only be coincidentally phrased as "quantum mechanics" in the broadest of terms.

@sysrq @MK2boogaloo We *do* use quantum mechanics in our daily lives. Modern transistors only work because of quantum mechanics, and it is necessary to understand it in order to design chips.

@sysrq I also don't believe in Quantum shit.

@MK2boogaloo
I am yet to have a coherent explanation of quantum computing that fully explains it and avoids buzzwords

neither do I :alexjonessmile2:
>quantum mechanics
I refuse to believe in quantum shit

I don't understand why men debate politics with women by trying to use logical arguments.
You'll have better luck teaching quantum mechanics to a class of special needs students.
