"just physics", "stretches back infinitely"
I feel like You could say this about, well, anything. Afaik, you could take any event and trace its causes all the way back to the Big Bang. But that seems a bit... impractical? Why would we do this with a quantum computer?
Am I missing/misunderstanding something?
- naasking 10y agoYou're not "doing" anything with a quantum computer. That's just the reality of quantum computation in this conceptual framework. And no, you can't say that about anything. In particular, you can't say that about non-deterministic interpretations of QM (most of them) because causal chains can only be traced back to the most recent non-deterministic event. In fact, pilot wave theories are among the only deterministic interpretations of QM.
