what the hell are you retards talking about in here
quantum states are just an extension of the minimization of action
when you're talking about computers you need to define them before you can make your absolutely dogshit assertions about bit states and shit
a computer is the machine that makes choices, a *blank* computer is a *blank* calculator attached to a computer
so an analog computer is a machine that makes choices and performs calculations for the data to make those choices using an analogy of the system (hence analog) while a digital computer is an analog computer who's analogy is math itself, or the functions of digits, hence "digital" so it's a computer with a digital calculator (often called in the core an "ALU")
these machines have things they do well and things they don't do well, analog machines are very good at calculating trigonometric functions like sine because there's only 1 possible outcome state to begin with, digital computer are very good at getting precise answer, but not necessarily fast answers, we only see them as fast because we made them incredibly small, but try calculating sine on a digital computer and it'll just eat up your resources, but for 99% of uses a precise answer is not necessary
now when we analyze possible outcomes to maths problems it turns out there's a very specific set of maths with a very niche use case in which there is, much like analog computers, only 1 stable answer, picture it like trying to calculate the diameter of a circle as a cross section of a sphere with a specific volume as a fraction of the whole, complicated ass problem, hard as hell to calculate without all manner of pi, or you could just pour some god damn water into a spherical jug and hold a damn rule up to it. It's the same fucking thing, it's just on a very tiny scale the math gets weird.
quantum computers can break encryption because there's only 1 stable answer to the math problem involved, that's about it.
