But, as Dr Teufel explained, “the whole magic of quantum computing is it doesn’t have to be zero or one, it could be zero and one”. Particle physicist Robert Gilmore perhaps put it best in his 1995 book Alice in Quantumland: “However nonsensical quantum mechanics may at times appear to us, that seems to be the way that Nature wants it – and so we have to play along.”
