I love reading about quantum physics though most of it goes over my head. I get a kick out of quantum entanglement.

The idea of every possible outcome happening all the time doesn’t seem very realistic but then what do I know?

I still having trouble understanding quantum computers. Having a one and a zero in a slot.

If I even explained that right

Think of quantum computers as being like a black box with a bank of sensitive gyroscopes purring away inside. Jostle the box, and the gyros fall over. That can at least tell you the direction and strength of the jostle, with the gyros responding based on gravity and their internal settings.

We accept the idea of gravity as an invisible force that tells objects how to behave, even millions of miles apart. Quantum entanglement is the similar, with quantum computers deploying an array of entangled particles arranged so that a jostle the form of a query delivers an answer, using the invisible linkage of quantum entanglement.

The key point is to accept quantum entanglement as real, as real as gravity. And, just like gravity, we can adapt and use quantum entanglement without fully knowing how it works.
