BBC News has reported that quantum computers "exploit the counterintuitive fact that photons or trapped atoms can exist in multiple states or 'superpositions' at the same time", and "quantum computing's one trick is to perform calculations on all superposition states at once" - plus, other quantum weirdness means the whole business "can then be done 'in the cloud' completely securely".

Decoherence in the sense of this abstract formalism is thus defined simply by the condition that (quantum) probabilities for wave components at a later time may be calculated from (quantum) probabilities for wave components at an earlier time and (quantum) conditional probabilities according to the standard classical formula, i.e. as if the wave had collapsed.

"Chris very casually mentions ideas: 'Wouldn't it be nice to figure out a way of consolidating the ideas of relativity, time and quantum mechanics?' So I go off — I don't actually have to do it; I just have to make you feel as if it's happening," he says, laughing.

In these examples, we can concretely see how the usual rules of space-time and quantum mechanics can arise, joined at the hip, from fundamentally geometric and combinatorial origins".
