Is quantum computing a meme?

I think of it as physics experiments. I don’t really care if private companies spend billions on it; I would be more critical if it were billions of taxpayer money. I think it’s worth trying to understand the quantum world. In the end, we might not use these effects for computing, but for other useful applications, like sensors, for example.
In any case, the guys and girls working on these problems have my support—it’s cool, cold tech.
As for quantum computing, yes, it’s a meme until someone breaks RSA in real time with it. Don’t worry, we already have post-quantum cryptography, so we’re good. But that would really show that it can calculate things regular computers can’t, and then it might become very useful for computing problems that are currently hard to solve.

It’s not science at the very least, contrary to what this faggot >>16460728 says. Science studies Nature and its phenomena. I don’t see quantum computers in Nature. It’s engineering wtih a cool word attached to it. Quantum computing “scientists” think and act like engineers. They have zero curiosity about the world and are just part of the money-chasing bug hive.
The amount of ruin these faggots alongside solid state “physicists” with their semiconductors have brought is immeasurable. Every physics department is basically split into two: engineers who swim in grant money and actual real physicists interested in understanding Nature eating breadcrumbs.

You see quantum mechanics in nature though

Yes. Quantum computing is as useful and real as string theory.

How is a photon split, what does that physically mean?
What does it mean for a photon split in 2, to be entangled?
How much volumetric space does the smallest possible single photon take up (if you pressed pause on the universe while viewing the smallest single photon, what would it's shape be)?

Photons cannot be split nigga. Entanglement simply means the state vector representing the state (of two or more quantum particles) in a Hilbert space cannot be decomposed as a tensor product of the state of the constituent.
The volume of photon is limited by the Heisenberg uncertainty.

A beam is split, or particle pairs are made,
But it seemed as if bells delayed choice eraser suggested spooky action, has that been clarified and understood?

Yes. This is basically just welfare with extra steps.

Do you get what it means?
Where does light come from, in what form is it located before it is emitted/generated.
(I anticipate you may respond:energy, or pure energy. What is energy? The ability to do work. So: before a photon is emitted, it exists In a state of 'the ability to do work'.)
Why how does a laser for example, light/photon/photons/em radi, travel in such a confined beam path, what is it that Is being emitted, and how does it's weird wobbling not spread out, but remain so tightly focal.

What came first, the field or the photon?

The average person might never own or use a quantum computer, but they have their uses. The main use of quantum computing is breaking encryption, once encryption's broken, people will switch to another type of encryption. So quantum computers would be useless again. If they can crack encryption they will be useful for running quantum chemistry simulations MUCH FASTER and better. This will have limited use for the average person, but could get us some really cool shit.

Will the quantum computer find dark matter? Or will chat gpt find it first?

I heard they had some MHD in plasma physics, so maybe fusion might find the dark matter ultimately!

Yes. It's current-year perpetual motion. The universe is not in the habit of giving something for nothing.
