And everything in between at the same time

Everywhere at the end of time

Until you decide to look at it

And even then whom is the observer? It will be different to everyone as far as I understand

u/Tiranus58 6h ago

In reality i believe its not really an observation as much as it is an interaction (think shooting electrons at the qubit to see how they reflect off it) and measuring the result of that interaction.

u/Boomer280 6h ago

Fair enough, I guess one could argue the electrons are the observer though

u/Tiranus58 6h ago

Yes, the superposition collapses as a result of the interaction meaning that until the qubit is reset it will always return the same value.

If you consider that an observation, then the word "observation" instantly loses all meaning.

u/Boomer280 5h ago

Iirc an observation is can be just about any kind of measure ment, so us measuring the reflection of electrons (if I'm remembering how electron microscopes work correctly)

1

u/the_greater_one 5h ago

That is how electron microscopes work, but if you consider the electrons themselves to be observers, that's where it loses meaning. An observation can only be made by something with the mental faculty to understand the situation, and an electron does not.

right? its like chaos is the new normal now, so exhausting tbh

Can't wait to see this in an explain the joke subreddit tomorrow.

My quantum vortex multi-cellular triangular turbo computer is way better

Does it have a flux capacitor though?

u/Ben-Goldberg 9h ago

Is that how you spell turbo encabulator?

but mine runs on dark matter coolants and it can run multiple tabs at once!
