The irony is that that's not far from the reason that they were first conceptualized.
David Deutch is a proponent of the multiverse interpretation of quantum mechanics and originally came up with the notion of quantum computing as an experiment that could ideally prove the truth of the multiverse interpretation by solving a problem large enough that it would not be tractable in one universe.
- nazgulnarsil 17y agothis is my understanding. the other states do exist, just not in our universe.
- TrevorJ 17y agoSo when my quantum computer is slow, does it mean that most of the alternate versions of myself are playing Cryis instead of working? :) The idea of solving a problem too big to be solved in one universe is really crazy, it reminds my of Asimov's "The Last Question".
