Hi Marg, thanks for your comment. I agree, I was expecting a bit more from the quantum music.
It's mostly true that quantum computing has to be done at extremely low temperatures, approaching absolute zero or -273 degrees C. This is because warmer temperatures cause the qubits, the subatomic building blocks of quantum computers, to decohere, losing their value. There have been very small single-qubit machines built to operate at room temperature but they can't do anything useful, so utility-scale quantum computing is still done in a cryogenic refrigerator. One of my earlier posts covers this in more detail: https://feitekraay.substack.com/p/slow-and-steady-wins
Music was lyrical but lacked heart and soul which I feel only a human can give it.
Is it true that Quantum computing can only be done at extremely low temperatures?
