Cold fusion sweat
It’s highly probable that quantum computing was initially developed as a humourous ode to bistromathics by a group of nerdy physicists that had read the hitchhiker’s guide to the galaxy when they were undergraduates.
In fact, said invention of quantum computing is likely to have occurred over a drunken meal at a cheap Italian restaurant.
I’m sure the progenitors are now highly embarrassed that their joke has exited the window like a grand piano on a suicide mission.
They must be deadly serious about their ongoing anonymity. Just like Satoshi Nakamoto, they know that any near term notoriety will ultimately be worthless when the technology is eventually outed as the turkey that it is.
Oddly, the only real difference between quantum computing and bistromathics is the title of the technology. Other than that, same same.
This fact is apparently hidden by a SEP invisibility field.
