Only some tasks can be computed in parallel. Some require sequential processing.

Somebody splain:
Computers are deterministic. They rely on the axiom that a statement can be true or false and that there is no midway point between true and false.
“Quantum “ computing uses bits that can be both true and false at the same time.

Splain to my purely logical mind how that can be.

They created an answer. It will take 10,000 years to find out if it’s a correct answer.
