- defterGoose 3y agoI mean, I'm not sure what else you'd literally do with it. Simulating the claimed 8 qubits would require not much classical processing power at all, unless there is something fundamental about the TRNG behavior/fidelity of qubits. Entanglement is interesting but what are you going to do other than simply demonstrate entanglement? I guess you could run Deutsch's with it. Fun. This seems like more of a teaching machine than anything.
