So I had a question /sci/
I'm starting to read a book on quantum computing and was wondering, is it possible to build a simple computer at my house? If so, what would I need to know? If not why?
I'm a physics major, with a CS and math minor. About to enter my last year. I want to build one for a proof of concept. Make it just add, subtract, multiply, and divide. I know there are companies like D wave working on this but I'd like to learn. And I assume they are farther along than this.

* A simple quantum computer
Anyone?

Nah buddy, no way you can be a senior physics major at a decent program and say things like that.

ya dude lol ok heres what you do
now you make a neutron gun. you just need a banana peel, some tin foil, a block of lead, and and some americium
you'll also need some of that green shit u find in glow in the dark stuff it's called radium but that's jsut because it tastes good lol you dont actually need it but it tastes so good lol
ok so u got ur neutron gun right im sure u can figure out what to do with those ingrediants but anyways you have microtubules in your brain where quantum stuff happens like entanglemant and superposition so you need to get some of those lol probably just give your buddy a scalpel and hell figure it out hes ur buddy
so now ur have ur neutron gun and microtubules lol so next what u need to do is find candle jack becau

You need to have an extremely clean system of isolated electrons, and ultra sensitive measurement equipment.
Clean and sensitive is the area of high end expensive tech.
The most robust system I kmow is nitrogen vacancies in diamonds, which is out of reach for home.
I would recommend fucking around with googles quantum computer simulator.

fuck quantum computing anon, build a computer that uses light instead of electricity.

>is it possible to build a simple [quantum] computer at my house?
unless you have access to high vacuums and cryogenics, no

Finally a direct answer, well fuck.
Thanks
