| What are you talking about?
| First, explain how quantum computers work
| Okay, so a quantum processor takes in a raw inquiry and processes yes, no, and maybe states. However, since some maybe states require more info, the computer needs a short term memory to hold them, if rejected from processing for a future, similar query.
| I heard it's all about the percentages of how possible it is for a qubit to have a certain state
| Wrong. In Quantum Computing, there is no "maybe" state. What you are think of here is the superposition of "yes" and "no" states.
| is it more like "Yes, but.."?
| No, it's "Yes and no at the same time within an acceptable frame of probability of outcome."

Imagine a coin. There are 2 sides. If you flip it it will land on one or the other. 0 or 1.
Now imagine you spin it on the desk. What side is up? Both-at the same time, until it falls down. And then it's either 1 or 0.
That's how I believe it works.
This thing where the coin spins is called superposition. It's the moment in which both 1 and 0 are having the same amount of truth to them. Until it falls atleast.
| Look, I don't know anything about this stuff, but I know enough to know that you don't know anything either

| Wouldn't we need a way to store "maybe states" for further and future processing to make quantum computing work?
