Comments by "Kong" (@Koushi82) on "How Does a Quantum Computer Work?" video.
Imdad Sardharwalla thanks so basically is quantum computing something along the lines of measuring the probability of the qubits being in a certain state? so we have to more or less measure the probability of 1s and 0s?

Imdad Sardharwalla say if a qu bit faces into a maybe 1 or 0 state in between then when you measure it. it quickly tries to go into one of the states. depending on the measured state. so to measure that you would need to measure the time it took to go into that state? then calculate if it was going to 1 state then to 0 state? which way depends on the time it took them to arrive at the state? or is it instantaneous so that you cannot even measure the time differential between states? hmm

so 1+1 = 2 turns into .5 + 1.5 = 2 or .75+ 1.25 = 2 so the thing is you need to find which one it is to get the result. if you observe them then they immediately turn into both 1 and you get 2. (or if you are using something like C++, an int instead of a double/float then .75 turns into 0 and 1.75 turns into 1.) some are in between after all. lets just say the qubits are in middle of rotation = quantum state of yes/no maybe. then it would be trying to find out what is in between. these would be useful for things involving quadratic formulas + derivatives maybe to predict the future even who knows. qubits are there to calculate probability that would make the most sense imo.
