2017-05-15 at 10:25 AM UTCif you can only write a sentence with a set of 10 words, it will take longer to describe what you're trying to say
if you can write a sentence with 100 words, it is easier to be concise, and when applied to computers this saves cpu/increases speed of communication
therefore a hex language of quantum states is more efficient than binary quantum states (on/off) -
2017-05-15 at 10:33 AM UTCGood analogy but I already understand the idea/system. I just dont get how you go from 01101110 to 6e.
Is that just arbitrarily assigned or is that something that was figured out through testing and observation?
Can 6e be anything or is it the letter n in base 16 for a reason? -

2017-05-15 at 10:39 AM UTC1/6 = 0.16
0.166, 0.332, 0.498, ... 1
so instead of just a 1/0 electrical burst, there's either a probability of the burst occurring p(n), or alternate configurations of electrons/whatever that produce a quantitatively different state. so either instead of 100% or 0% it has 16% probability of being 100%, or instead of 100% or 0% its 33%. something like that, i have no idea what im talking about but im usually right
then 1 0
can be 0 1 2 3 4 5
1 h d q k 8
5 f h s 1 s
* & ^ % $ !
the symbols dont matterThe following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Is that how it works, aldra?
the concept isn't specific to quantum applications... it's just simply that the more symbols you can use (ie. in binary you can use 1 or 0, in hexadecimal you can use 0-9 and A-F) the less space it takes to write something. It might be simpler to forget about letters and just count in binary and decimal -
BINARY:0,1,00,01,10,11
DECIMAL:0,1,2,3,4,5
as you can see, because you only have two symbols, it'll start to take longer and longer strings to be able to represent anything useful. 200 in decimal is 11001000 in binary.
Character strings like I mentioned before are really just numbers - it's not important in relation to this topic but most text is stored in a format called ASCII, which uses a number under 256 (a bit) to represent each letter in the betabet. ASCII table for reference:
So when stored in memory, 'niggasinspace' is actually 110 105 103 103 97 115 105 110 115 112 97 99 101 in decimal.
Because of the way computer processors work, the smaller you can make the data, the faster the processor can deal with it.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

I had no clue about that shit, either. Thanks for explaining this, aldra. The term makes a lot of sense now.
How do you come from base 2 to base 16 and the steps between?
I go by Owen, now.

The main thing you want to keep in mind with quantum computing is that the real limitation of current computers is the number system - they're forced to use binary because the transistors used are only able to detect electrical charges as being ON (1) or OFF (0).
The goal of Quantum Computing is to create a system that can use a number system with more digits than just 1/0 - the way they're trying to do it is to, instead of observing an electrical charge that can only be ON or OFF, observe a quantum particle that can have any number of bizarre states like ON/OFF/HALF-ON/etc.
The reason for that is to be able to process a lot more data in a single instruction - for example:
Raw text: niggasinspace
binary (base 2): 01101110 01101001 01100111 01100111 01100001 01110011 01101001 01101110 01110011 01110000 01100001 01100011 01100101
CopyClear
hexadecimal (base 16): 6e 69 67 67 61 73 69 6e 73 70 61 63 65
The difference in processing speeds between base-2 and base-3 would be so great that it'd potentially render all current encryption standards useless… Let alone the potential difference in speeds moving up to base-7 or even base-16.
I'm sure you'll work it out soon enough if you're interested in reading, but having a basic understanding of how normal microprocessors and the assembly language work will really help in understanding what they're trying to accomplish.
Thanks that makes a lot more since, my dad was trying to explain it to me the other day but he's such an egghead his explanations sometimes get lost in his technical jargon. -

2017-05-15 at 2:05 PM UTCThanks to both of you for explaining this to me.
Please, sploo, stop taking drugs that destroy your brain. Please move on to the good ones. Your explanation was really good.
Great fucking thread, Roshambo. Content of the year award. -
2017-05-15 at 3:43 PM UTCwhat they didn't explain was the difficulty in using quantum particles as they can be in two places at once making them hard to measure. also, in attempting to measure a quatuum particle you cause it to change. making it impossible to measure.
just thought I'd put that out there.

We aren't yet at the level of technology to measure or comprehend them in any significant way, entire fields of mathematics have to be discovered to make sense of it and we are just not evolved enough for this to ever happen. -

I think I made at least a dozen threads about the Quantum Zeno Effect with an estimated average of zero replies.
Maybe it was just my observation causing this, though.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -
