run a speed test on my quantum computer so I know how fast it's running

it vanishes without a trace

This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Damn, that one's running fast!
It is currently all the way in Australia by now.
Next time, just assume the CPU is both upgraded and not upgraded at the same time.
QPU*
well it was a QPU before being observed
Yeah, now its a BPU.
QPU is a legit name for Quad Processing Unit, which is used as shaders in Broadcom's Videocore line of products.
Well, your quantum twin observed the opposite. Be glad for him.
in an alternative universe
Wait does that mean we have multiversal networking?
... I don't know how this is the first thing that went through my mind, but i bet there is a self-datintg app already. You can bonk me now.
You'd like that, won't you?
Not me, but maybe "me" actually does idk
Quantum dating. A very quick and uncertain date.
He observed the UPC?
This would only happen if you tried to delid the quantum CPU. So, not only is it bricked, but you also voided the warranty!
The trick is to not observe it but to simply glance over it as if you didn't give a f*ck about it and pretend like your simply trying to avoid walking into it. Look right at it and you may hurt it's feelings causing it to brick itself
THIS DOCUMENT IS NOT A COMPLETE GUIDE TO HANDLING A QUANTUM COMPUTER. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY HARM THAT YOU MAY CAUSE TO YOURSELF OR THE SPACE TIME AROUND. QUANTUM COMPUTERS ARE DANGEROUS AND HURTING THERE FEELINGS MAY CAUSE IMMEDIATE DESTRUCTION OF THE SPACETIME AROUND THEM.
Pls don't shoot me with your electron gun eyes sir.
That'll be bout treefiddy, and if you change your mind and decide you do want the electron gun eyeball treatment.....another treefiddy
I've never understood what counts as 'observing' in this context... Just looking at the thing, perhaps with some kind of microscope/tool? Does it have to be a person who observes it? How about a dog? Or a paramecium?
I think I'm missing some important piece to this.
It's any interaction that counts. That could be with your eye, but it's usually with any other particle that needs to know the position of another. That could be part of a measuring device, or anything else. If information is needed to "do physics" with it then the waveform collapses so the interaction can be performed.
It has absolutely nothing to do with consciousness.
I might be talking out of my ass a bit, but if I remember it correctly the "observer" part was about it being impossible to measure velocity and observe a location of a thing (electron, photon etc. I think) at the same point in time. I don't think it actually had an effect on the particle, i remember there were some bad experiments where the measurement influenced the the thing because the measurement itself like taking a photo or whatever they did was enough to disturb... stuff.
It's because in order to measure it you need to see it. If you can see it then light is bouncing off it it and these particles are so small that the energy of a photon bouncing off of it will move it.
You crashed the wave function you fool!
