Further, advanced QC (and it would have to be advanced in order to replace n-ary computing) has many consequences and implications, e.g. for cryptography etc. and for the overall standard of technical systems and problems that can be computed. | |

| Nov 26, 2018 at 16:34 | comment | added | John Dvorak | @vaelus unfortunately quantum systems seem to universally prefer two-level qubits as well. An electron spin is either +1 or -1, a photon either spins clockwise or counterclockwise or is either polarized horizontally or vertically... It's still quite possible to stumble upon a really good 3-level qubit, though. | |

Change ternary to non-binary
