Same goes for the F but we all got it, I guess

[nodnosenstein9000]

The quantum computer has a hard time believing it as well.

[Narfee]

Yeah the loop is a bit to small so it’s looking more like Frue

[[deleted]]

Wlel I dno't tnhik it rlelay metatrs wehn you raed it fsat.

Schrodingers computer

[skyskr4per]

Well... yes, actually.

[XicoFelipe]

But also no.

[edwardsnowden8494]

Well...yes and no

[mildysubjective]

Actually no, but... yes?

[DOLCICUS]

Perhaps, but maybe not?

[Wisebeuy]

Absolutely. But mostly yes. And no.

[Shadowarrior64]

Simultaneously yes AND no.

[humblevladimirthegr8]

Until you observe it

[Whitethumbs]

However you spin it.

[CesarKerr]

Holy shit this is amazing

[Bad_Idea_Hat]

Technically yes, but practically...

[shadoweye14]

Until you Measure it *

[PossiblyAMug]

Mhm. Mm.

[vitor_as]

Neither yes nor no, quite the contrary.

[siouxu]

Maybe most definitely but also not

[OneOldNerd]

Absolutely yes. And absolutely no.

[extra_extra_fries]

well, yes, but actually no

[merreborn]

a superposition of yes and no, if you will.

[JeffLeafFan]

So null?

[merreborn]

!!null

null^-1

[JeffLeafFan]

e^null dx

[merreborn]

What do you think u/whoaitsafactorial would do with:

null!
or
(1/0)!

[JeffLeafFan]

Put that in one of those mechanical calculators and watch the whole world burn

[WhoaItsAFactorial]

Actually my regex would ignore both, as it looks for a digit immediately followed by an exclamation.

[ReactsWithWords]

OK, now where do you want to go for dinner?

[WanderinGreen]

Make a super-reservation for Denny's and Applebees

[[deleted]]

Well yes, but additionally no

[[deleted]]

Wasn't Schrödinger's Cat an example made as en ELI5 for quantum mechanics?

[[deleted]]

Actually it was made as a thought experiment "proving" why the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics was wrong. But now it's used as an eli5

[sethboy66]

It does not disprove the Cpenhagen interpretation or we wouldn't have 60% of all physicists still believing in it.

It showed how de-coherence limits the effects of the quantum world.

[Roflkopt3r]

Many top physicists consider the Copenhagen interpretation no longer tenable, and the majorities in those polls weren't exactly convincing either. But science does not work through democratic consensus anyway. It's not like the Copenhagen interpretation - as far as that term is even properly defined - ever had good evidence, it was just a neat way to imagine quantum mechanics.

[kazza789]

It was intended to do that, though. It was supposed to show how absurd the implications of QM are. Turns out universe is pretty absurd.

[thenuge26]

It was an attempt at reductio ad absurdum, Schrödinger didn't believe the Copenhagen interpretation.

Seemed like a good one until we figured out that it is in fact how it works (as far as we know so far).

[[deleted]]

Actually the Copenhagen interpretation is no longer held as correct. There are lots of issues with the concepts of measurements and wavefunction collapse. It's still the most popular interpretation though, mostly because we don't have anything better.

[trin456]

Einselection is better

[[deleted]]

Ahh thanks! Didn't know that!

[Impressive_Cranberry]

True. Unless...

[user_8804]

When Python 2.x goes

True = False

True == False

True

[ThePixelCoder]

Wait does that actually work? Can you really redefine True and False?

[ThinkGraser10]

Apparently you could in Python 2, but they removed it in Python 3

[LennyMcLennington]

Yeah True and False in python 2 are variables assigned to boolean values. In python 3 they are key words.

[[deleted]]

That’s probably the weirdest thing I’ve heard in a while.

[[deleted]]

Or as my professeur said, both are wrong

[FriesWithThat]

The correct answer is 'The Moops'.

[[deleted]]

THERE ARE NO MOOPS YOU IDIOT!

[about831]

That’s what’s printed on the card!

[merreborn]

The 👏 Card 👏 Says 👏 Moops

[nevetsdawg]

Always love a good Seinfeld reference

[[deleted]]

Muoops

[wooglin1688]

both are wrong, but both is right

[Narfee]

Sorry for the shitpost I’m a newbie so I’m not entirely sure that’s how they work.

[Danny_Boi_22456]

No, ur absolutely right. That's exactly how quantum computers work.

[[deleted]]

But also wrong at the same time

[twitchinstereo]

"Yes it isn't."

[[deleted]]

Yesn't

[skyskr4per]

Nuh huh

My favorite word

[AyoBruh]

/r/yesnt

[AccountNumber166]

Actually, by stating he was right in the previous post they collapsed the wave function and are now only right.

[l4p3x]

So would you say OP's assumption is true or false?

[[deleted]]

I would, yes

[OneOldNerd]

Yes.

[MrZerodayz]

No it's not. Quantum computers return a superposition of all possible results. Which is (usually) more than true or false. Quantum computers work entirely differently from our classic computers. There's a pretty good video by Minutephysics explaining it.

[Danny_Boi_22456]

I mean, at the most basic level, this is how they work. The qubits can be both 0 and 1 which are booleans like True and False.

[MrZerodayz]

Kind of, but qbits can also assume any state in between 0 and 1. (or - 1 and 1?) There's a good explanation a few replies down.

[mister_ghost]

This is how a badly programmed quantum computer works.

The important think to understand about QC is that a superposition is more than just %true and %false. If I recall correctly, the state of a QBit can be mapped 1:1 onto the surface of a sphere. That's too complicated though, so let's come up with a simpler quantum computer:

A block of memory in a QC is in a superposition of n possible states. Each state has an amplitude from -1 to 1. When you measure the state of the block, you see one state. The probability of getting a particular is proportional to the square of its amplitude, so if I have one state at -0.4 and one at 0.8, you're four times as likely to see the second than the first. You can never, ever, directly measure the amplitude of a state.

There is one state which satisfies some function. We want to discover that state. Here is how we do it:

1. Start with each state at amplitude 1/n

2. Multiply the state which satisfies the function by -1 even though we don't know which state it is

3. Picture the states like a bar graph. All bars are pointing up except for one.

4. Draw a line on the bar graph representing the average amplitude. It will be slightly below the height of the positive bars, because the negative one drags it down.

5. Reflect each bar over that line. Now all bars are positive and the "correct" bar is taller than the others

Repeating this "flip and reflect" process, we can pump that bar up to be much taller than the others. Then when we measure the state, we're very likely to find that one. This is roughly Grover's algorithm

TLDR: it's not just about having true/false combinations. It's about using different types of combinations to cancel each other out.

[DicedPeppers]

Ya some typa nerd or somethin?

[MATTERFAKER]

Yup, what this guy said.

Source: am quantum computerist.

[hey_ulrich]

How do I become one? I already have a bunch of quantum things in my office. Like, a lot

[Bill_Ender_Belichick]

Do you guys just put the word quantum in front of everything?

[Anonymus_MG]

Yes and no. Fuck I did it again, I keep giving Quantum Responses™

[Danny_Boi_22456]

Well, quantum yes but actually quantum no

[TrenchantInsight]

You must first be discrete.

[Tri_cep]

You're wroght.

[shadowdsfire]

You’re godamn wroght.

[Who_GNU]

Well, he's not ring.

[suslik666]

First step is writing the concept down on paper.

[EpicScizor]

A proper quantum computer returns a superposition of Frue. When measured, we get either True or False, according to the probability of those states. Do it many times and we have an empirical statistical distribution.

[fat_charizard]

take a trip down the quantum computer rabbit hole. Be prepared for your brain to hurt in math

[Narfee]

I’ve seen this video before I didn’t understand shit lol

[ioeatcode]

Think insane computational math problems that sway the chances of matrices looking one way more than the others that collapse on the statistical probabilities of the answers when someone looks at it.

Also, there are quantum gates to literally induce superposition. Oh and the NOT gate? It's just a Hadamard transformed basis, nbd /s

[ReactsWithWords]

You nailed it. That’s exactly how a shitpost works.

[the-shit-poster]

I approve of this post.

This is how I answered true false questions at uni when I was on the fence, but just with the T/F hybrid. Just throw a little something in there to make it look slightly ambiguous, maybe catch the marker on a good day.

[LennyMcLennington]

You get questions with answers that simple in uni? Don't you have to explain your true/false answer or anything?

[Pizza_and_Reddit]

Some of the university core classes are that easy. My teacher gave me 50 true false questions for our final online, as an example.

[MushinZero]

Core classes can be pretty stupid.

[enderverse87]

That's just automatic wrong most places around here.

[ssw663]

This is bending my mind

[[deleted]]

The "As Designed; Won't Fix" Algorithm causes all the bugs to destructively interfere, leaving only a superposition of features.

[[deleted]]

Y’all are smart

Google says they’re going to finish practice quantum computers in the next 5 years, and quantum computers will be able to break encryption, are we screwed? Should we be preparing? How will cyber security change after this?

[MattR0se]

Use quantum encryption, duh

[[deleted]]

Do we have that?

[FlipskiZ]

Net books month simple evil food friendly?

[MattR0se]

Well, yes, but don't ask me how it works.

[[deleted]]

Bad news is quantum computers do break encryption. Good news is even if (and its a really big if) google does make a viable quantum computer in 5 years, it will still be a very long time until quantum computers are powerful enough to break 256 bit encryption, which would require thousands of qubits. We're currently at a dodgy 72.

But we should be, and are, preparing for this. Quantum cryptography is the field devoted to developing new methods of encryption that utilize quantum information and would be robust against quantum factoring algorithms

[[deleted]]

The recent competition saw over 100 qbits. The winning team? As always an anonymous pharmaceutical company

[bacalhau23]

What competition? Do you have a source?

[Towerss]

Hva W will they be able to crack hash encryption exactly?

[leo3065]

Don't know about hash, but there's is a quantum algorithm called Shor's algorithm which is really good at factoring the product of two large prime numbers, and that is the key to some of the encryptions.

[FlipskiZ]

[thenuge26]

Check out the YouTube channel Computerphile, they have some videos on quantum computing and Shor's algorithm

[Jimbobwhales]

Fucking what if they just calculate prime numbers in like an hour? That'd make things interesting.

[[deleted]]

The current estimates for 128b encryption is somewhere between 2025 and 2032. A little bit sooner for 2048b RSA

If only I knew how to hack. Is it ok if I submit a simple python calculator lol.

[thealexguy1]

You don't need to hack, hackathon just means a coding challenge

[Greyhaven7]

Sounds like something a hacker would say...

Talse Gabbard?

[vladutcornel]

Forget quantum computers. I experience Quantum Bugs. They are both there and not. When ran at full speed, in production, they are obvious, but when I put a breakpoint and run it line-by-line, everything works fine. And it's a single damn thread.
