A quantum computer program has produced an answer without actually running. Curiouser and curiouser
What I don’t understand is, if it is not running and still produces answers, then why couldn’t they have had the same result from a quantum computer they hadn’t built?

Need support for your home ed journey? Looking for tutoring for your young person? Have an idea for a collaboration? I’d love to hear from you!
After 20+ years of home educating my four children (two now adults), I’ve gathered a wealth of experience that I’m passionate about sharing. Beyond blogging and guest writing, I offer several services designed to support families on their home education journey.
I’ve put together a collection of resources that I’ve genuinely found useful over the years—things that have actually made a difference in our home education. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to freshen things up, there’s something here to help. These are the tools, guides, and materials I’d recommend to a friend, because they work.

Well I’m impressed that you understand *any* of it!
Sorry, I didn’t mean to give that impression. 🙂
All very nice and good – but why?
Because.
qUITE.
If a tree falls in the forest and there is no-one there to hear it…….
…..we’ve got a free Christmas tree. 🙂
But the program has to be in a position I suppose that it could be running, for whatever quantum effects they use to get the ‘answer’ to ‘work’. Shrodinger’s cat has to be in the box?
As to why – well, if a quantum computer would be oodles faster than any current device.
I love quantum mechanics, it is just so bizzare and unintelliglble 🙂
But what if the components of the computer were placed in a position in which they could be assembled? Surely that ought to be just as good?
