This is a validation of quantum computing as normally conceived. Photons are just as valid a quantum particle as anything else -- most importantly they can exhibit entanglement, which classical "light waves" can't.
- Estragon 17y agoYou're begging the question. I'm aware that most physicists believe photon states can be entangled. My point is that it's not clear that quantum entanglement is used in this computation. There are so many photons being used that it would be possible for the probability waves to be approximated by the frequency distribution of the photons' states.
