I’m objectively saying that Bitcoin computes a quantum (block) of time. The smallest and only unit causal change any temporal-informational system can undergo.
I’m trying to define a quantum comp...
trying to understand your bitcoin lens:
i think maybe anything (anything?) can be described in terms of physics. but quantum physics can possibly allow a description of _bitcoin_ as quantum computation…in an ideal sense of how things play out/manifest/are realized…
if it’s (somewhat) accurate…i’ve been intrigued.
also, though, i can think how everything depends on the language one uses to describe something.
and so also, there’s the thought that if everything “is physics,” then so is bitcoin.
///
then to calle’s quantum slop points…
spoke w a physics professor last year who basically said (as said elsewhere too) that quantum computing has a materials problem. it’s an issue w the physical hardware that makes it (currently?) infeasible, like it’s a problem for room temperature superconductivity.
