For the layman Bitcoiner: QC/QT is built on an incoherent theory of fractional commitment, the belief that unmeasured potential states can be treated as real physical states, that superposition is a ...

Quantum is the new alchemy of fiat. It’s alchemy because nothing about its foundational claims is verifiable. The entire enterprise rests on objects “qubits” that no one outside the black box is permitted to observe, measure, or confirm. Their existence is asserted, not demonstrated and their ...
