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 ...

This is a great way to say it. Quantum is the new alchemy. It appears that whatever these machines are actually doing, if we had a sane theory to describe it, there seems to be a physical limit of something like 100 logical qbits anyway, before the error correction introduces more noise than reduces. Not enough to ever crack a key.

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 ...
