[–] PNW_Doug@lemmy.world 20 points 1 month ago (3 children) USB-A was a rare case of a quantum-locked consumer device. It would not reveal its orientation until after observing all possible combinations. permalink fedilink source hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] bcgm3@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago permalink fedilink source parent [–] Pat_Riot@lemmy.today 2 points 1 month ago Turn 3 times to achieve the superposition. permalink fedilink source parent [–] SmoothOperator@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago There are quantum objects that need to be rotated 720 degrees to return to their starting orientation. 360 degrees is not enough to get back to the start. That's what USB-A is like. permalink fedilink source parent
