As someone still trying to understand the essence of quantum computing, your analogy to me can be summed up as coherence only comes from coherence. Which to me is too general, and describes computing as a whole. How coherence is determined in the particular case of quantum computing as opposed to classical computing is the meat and potatoes that I'm looking for.
- akavel 8y agoSorry, don't think I can do more at this point; I once managed to understand the Shor's algorithm from some book; but I didn't reinforce it, and now I'm left only with a vague recollection of the main a-ha moment... Though I actually don't really get what do you mean by coherence here (esp. in the area of classical computing).
- omarchowdhury 8y agoMy coherence I mean something intelligible that can be acted on (ie. computer code and its results).
