Hello, IT. Have you tried turning it off and on again?

    Not really.

    Quantum computing is about literally solving it exponentially faster.

    Think of it like brute forcing a password.

    Binary it can change one character and it has to go thru all of them.

    Actual quantum computing goes down multiple paths at once, so the bigger the password the more gain there is from quantum. It doesn’t have to actually try every single possible combination.

    It’s not just going from 2 to 3 states, because that third state is quantum superposition and by no means just a 50% increase. That superposition is how it goes down multiple “paths” at once.

    But the observer effect isn’t coming into play.
