No fair, you changed the outcome by measuring it!
a real danger of quantum computing

Ah, the classic question, “What do you mean by ‘measurement’?”

0h sure everything looks that way when you quantify it

IIRC it means firing a laser at the thing and measuring the reflected wavelengths.

don’t care; didn’t ask

Did anyone check and see if the state of those quantum-linked pairs are related to time? And it’s just like a function of milliseconds since linking determines whether positive or negative, and that’s how you can know the other one is the exact opposite, without any “information being transmitted”… did anyone check if it’s time?

Tbf it’s just the wave function that collapsed, at that moment it’s more floating point computing.

I laughed. A physics & computer science joke? That was my degree. Well done
