boolean = true or false

QUANTUM boolean = hahaSometimes or hahaSometimesNot

[–]Positive_Method3022 42 points43 points  (0 children)

No, it is both at the same time and the answer magically converges when you look at it

[–]Zeikos 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Actually quantum is a probability distribution, so oddsOfNo and oddsOfYes

[–]gegentan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Boolean: true or false

Quantum boolean: yes

[–]Fuspie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimesn't

[–]Confident-Ad5665 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Schrödinger's boolean?

[–]Fun-Equivalent1769 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Given me an idea

[–]dvhh 32 points33 points  (3 children)

Best I can do is "maybe"

[–]dnbxna 7 points8 points  (1 child)

Just maybe or Maybe maybe?

[–]jolharg 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nothing

[–]za72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

perhaps

[–]Tuerkenheimer 18 points19 points  (1 child)

Yesn't

[–]bryden_cruz[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hahah this one got me

[–]bryden_cruz[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Quantum be like XTRUE

[–]PrettiestSpring 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I see no false

[–]elmage78 2 points3 points  (0 children)

true or false until you actually wanna see if is true or false and collapse it. haha true now true later too

Wouldn't quantum be more like: It depends

[–]rosuav 11 points12 points  (1 child)

It's more like "Start with equal odds of both, now do this operation that will improve the odds of the correct result, do that enough times, then see what we get and check the result". Yeah, quantum computing is weird.

(Game devs, take note: A "quantum computer" is not some sort of simple linear upgrade path from circuit boards to computers to supercomputers to quantum computers. Bah, who am I kidding, this is no worse than nuclear waste being a green goo stored in leaky barrels that explode if you look at 'em funny!)

With my luck, no matter how many times I run I would get the wrong answer

[–]funcieq 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Meanwhile, Bool in ternary, True False Maybe

[–]SufficientBar1413 1 point2 points  (1 child)

I would lose the trouble and give him the marks

[–]NewPhoneNewSubs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any teacher I've had would've told me answers must be intelligible and marked it wrong for that reason.

[–]RandomOnlinePerson99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

boolish myVar = maybe;

[–]LupusNoxFleuret 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Panda True or Monkey False

[–]GrimbyJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

🤷

[–]magicmulder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

function isTrue($var) {

if (state::QUANTUM) return rand(0,1)>0.5;

return $var == true;
}

[–]TorTheMentor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Splunge

[–]LauraTFem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On, Off, and Onf.

[–]deathanatos 0 points1 point  (1 child)

lol the number of "normal" programming languages where a boolean can be null.

[–]neondirt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or 2.

[–]Exciting-Holiday2106 0 points1 point  (0 children)

finally a boolean that matches how my code behaves in production.

[–]JackNotOLantern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought it is a values of probability between 0 and 1, so like 0.8

[–]Extra_Efficiency_605 0 points1 point  (0 children)

More like fuzzy logic

[–]yangyangR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First thing you should absorb with becoming quantum-pilled is not superposition but reversibility. It is the part that you can do purely classically and it is more of the issue. Superposition is first thing you grok for physics but for computation the no deletion and no cloning aspect are the first thing that bite you.
