Also getting tired of people associating the word “quantum” with futuristic or extremely advanced, thinking somehow they will supercharge AI or something.
All it means is the idea that everything is discrete packets of energy, or “quanta”, existing in various fields. It’s a mathematical model to describe what we see. That’s it.
In the case of quantum computing, there is a real meaning to it (in really vague terms, its computing using the suoerposition of quantum states to collapse extraordinarily complex problems down to a single answer). The problem rather is that right now companies are eagerly hyping this tech as being “just around the corner” when it’s nothing of the sort (unless a bunch of massive breakthroughs suddenly turn up).

I think that’s enough to be honest because reality exists only when we look at it.
