I’m also not an expert on this, but from my limited knowledge, the problem with measurements collapsing a qubit into either 1 or 0 is because they’re so small and so finicky that any measurement is by nature destructive. They’re small enough that throwing a photon at it causes them to lose information, and you can’t measure them without throwing a photon at it.
Thanks for writing that out.
This does make sense and it’s roughly what I’ve read previously.
What I don’t understand is why is there even something called a qubit that have stops working if you observe it. This does not make sense to me.
I also don’t really get the model of how qubits are programmed and quantum commands (???) are executed.
