I wonder what a game for a quantum computer would even look like.

From what I understand, on or off states, with a quantum computer is more like Sometimes on, sometimes not, sometimes both, sometimes neither....
And that allows it to run many differnt branches at the same time, to problem solve. 
Which is supposedly great for math problems that take forever to calculate, or breaking incryptions.

However I doubt that sort of funktion, would have any benefits on gameing.

However no, it cant do "quantum gameing" because its just regular old x86 binary cpu in there :)
(which is probably a million times better for gameing anyways)

I began quantum gaming decades ago in the future while reminiscing the present.

Your trying to make fun of what I said? By assumeing things will change, and thus whats true for now, might not be so forever?

Yes I agree, maybe sometime 50years from now, quantum computers really are faster than x86 cpu at everything.
They wont require to be frozen down to like near absolute zero, to lock in place these particles
(though how they will controll these particales otherwise.. is a big question mark).

Maybe they can "self calibrate" or something, and thus are made commercial grade, even for gameing consoles.
And wont take hours too boot up, and be ready to use.

Liquid Helium is used by alot of these machines to cool the chip down, to achieve super conductivity.
Imagine buying a console the size of a freezer, and if you move it/bump it or just slight touches, you need to recalibrate it.
If you shut it down or lose power, it ll take hours to again check the state of these qubits and particles, before you can use it.

How would such a device be a good idea (currently) for a console? it wouldnt.
That was all my post ment.

We should be thankfull its not a quantum computer because currently it doesnt make any sense to use such for a gameing machine.
