After 20 years in VLSI, I have no clue about quantum computers, and haven't found a good source explaining them. Anyone have any idea how they work?
Like, how does one produce logic gates out of them? How do you create an IEEE 754 Floating point multiplier? I get that they're supposed to represent overlaid states on the same device due to Pauli exclusion, but how do you separate out states and use them in logic? Or save states? What happens if logic produces the same state for one device? Is standard metal used to send signals, or is it something fancy-dancy like neutrinos?
It's honestly the most exotic thing I know of in tech, just trying to even begin to get a handle on it, never-mind trying to perform useful work out of them.
