It's arguably nomological not ontological. No one has ever in history measured or detected or observed a qubit to be in this "third state." It's always found to just have a bit value of 0 or 1. The mathematical book keeping is just a way to predict that 0 or 1 and doesn't describe a third state. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] ExcessShiv@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 1 month ago* Nevertheless, the definition of a qubit is that is has those three states, meaning it technically isn't binary. permalink fedilink source parent
