Part 5/8:
Intriguingly, this discussion leads us to the Many-Worlds Interpretation (MWI) of quantum mechanics, posited by physicist Hugh Everett in 1957. According to MWI, every quantum event causes the universe to split into multiple versions, each representing a different outcome. Thus, when a quantum coin is flipped, a universe exists where it lands heads, while another exists where it lands tails, implying an endless array of parallel universes.
The speculation arises around whether quantum computers like Willow utilize these parallel universes in their computations. It suggests that they may not only seek out solutions in our universe but explore possibilities across many universes simultaneously. Although this notion remains theoretical and contentious, it undeniably captivates the imagination.
