I feel that you’re stringing us along with that theory.
Comment on Good luck figuring it out since it also doesn’t come with man pages

Non-binary PC is just a quantum computer innit?

There’s also analog computers: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analog_computer
Alas, they got largely displaced by digital computers…

Quantum computing yes, with qubits. But also tenery computing with trits, and probabilistic computing with p-bits. Analog computers probably fit in this category too.
Probabilistic computing will probably become big before quantum computers, because it’s a natural fit for probabilistic LLMs. Lots of work being done in this hardware field with photonics, neuromorphic and thermodynamic chips.

No, ternary exists. We could have built computers with triodes.
