Writing… Quantum is an observed natural phenomenon. It was annoying for a while because it broke things, but it’s real and accepted as such, now, and so we can observe and repeat it and try to make machines that exhibit the effects in a controllable way reliably and at scale. This is what a quantum computer is; the machine that tries to achieve these effects at scale. The rest is just programming using the quantum equivalent of digital logic gates constructed by maths applied to the physical manipulations and observations. We are both there; the theory and math is known, and not there because the machines don’t scale. And we also don’t have a shared understanding of where “there” is because it’s a space unanchored that needs the machines to anchor them.
