Can QC simulate that?


QC cant do anything, it has no use cases. And that won't change. Except if you want to generate random numbers. that it can do.


Care to justify?


because Qbits are just random numbers. They want to make u believe that Qbits represent a range of values, which is true in theory, but in reality it's just a plain old single random number. So all QC calculation are basically random + random * random - random = ... random ofc. I think google it's only QC application was a program that generates some random hash. Other than that, QC hasnt done anything else, nor do i believe it can.

Note, it turned out later that classical computers could still do this faster, so, another QC fail.


There’s many criticisms to be made about quantum computing but you don’t understand quantum mechanics at all.


really? How come reality keeps agreeing with me then? Where are these amazing quantum mechanics applications? U really believe in super position?? really? How long have they been working on QC? 50 years now? it never seems to work or be ready.. i wonder why.


I have no idea why you think reality agrees with you. I “believe” in superposition, entanglement, and the like because I’ve tested it myself in a lab with a six qubit quantum computer I built.


My point is that your quantum computer isnt able to do anything. It's junk, spewing out random data.


I think you should take a class or two on quantum mechanics before making assertions like these.



Nice example!
