So basically you don’t believe that quantum computers exist at all, it any capacity, that the whole thing is either a hoax or a big misunderstanding.

It's either that or you believe they do exist, and quantum computation is real, but just not very powerful vis a vis these use cases.

I’m saying that if time is quantized and discrete, then the mathematical substrate required for computation does not exist in the way the formalism assumes. QC relies on continuous-time unitary evolution to define superposition, phase accumulation, interference etc. If time has a smallest indivi...
