Qubits vs Trans People

From Controversial Political Memes for Anti-Establishment Human Beings, a reliable source for left wing nonsense (not to mention a key study in irony, given that the left is the establishment):


"Instead of using binary bits, quantum computers use qubits (quantum bits) to solve mathematical problems and to prepare datasets. The traditional bit is based on binary code. A bit can have only
one of two states: 1 or 0. Qubits, on the other hand, are non-binary and can have both states at the same time: 1 and 0.

MAGA people: 'Hnnnngggh stop making Science WOKE! It's binary and it will stay binary none of this Disney movie crap ... MAGA is God !'

'And that's how you destroy the right wing garbage agenda ladies and gentlemen'"


Comment 1: "Nice! Just a few things. A qubit is “non-binary” in that it can inhabit multiple states at once. The existence of a qubit relies on the fact that the “on” state (1) and “off” state (0) are definite states that exist in physical space as with a classical bit.

When the qubit exhibits both “on” and “off” this is called a superposition. This superposition can be described by a linear equation as can be seen in the picture below. The alpha and Beta variables (α, β) are “complex” numbers (or imaginary numbers in math).

The equation itself represents the probability that the qubit will be in one state or the other and then when it is measured, the probability wave collapses into one of the “real” states.

Conversely, the “non-binary” “gender” has a different definition to anyone who uses it. It has no rules other than “not being inside the gender binary.” It is based on a gender-abolitionist theory that critically claims that gender itself isn’t real as we know it and is nothing but a collectively constructed fiction.

This is quite literally the opposite of what non-binary means in quantum mechanics because a superposition by definition means that both states HAVE to exist. QM shows they exist SO much that something outside our ability to fully measure in our four dimensional time space can only manifest in this reality as a probability wave of both and literally nothing else we observe.

TLDR; Not only is this post implicitly calling the “non-binary gender” mostly reliant on imaginary parts, it’s affirming a definition that there are only two genders.
Conservatives absolutely.. OWNED…??

To be fair though, if you ignore 100% of every single thing about quantum mechanics, qubits, and linear algebra this post is based on, the post makes complete sense!!
Cheers!!"


Comment 2: "as someone who has a masters in Quantum Computing. I will try to explain this a little easier.

This post oversimplifies quantum mechanics by using the "if not observed, it has multiple states" argument to losely justify a weird claim that conservatives fear spectrums. Not only does it incorrectly interpret quantum mechanics - which I don't blame them! It's difficult! - quantum computing uses binary choices to determine an action. It is still 1s and 0s when directly observed. It's simply based on probability that it is either a 1 or a 0. Biological sex supports this same ideology. You have a probability of being a woman or a man when you're born, based on a list of biological and genetic factors.

TLDR; This isn't the "gotcha" that you think it is."
