Generating random numbers from a variety of specific probability distributions shows us how the quantum state vector reflects the desired probability distribution, and the previous article showed how a variety of such distributions could be achieved. However, quantum computers can simulate a digital computer also. Even though bits are certain and qubits are uncertain, computing on a digital computer can be thought of like working with a special kind of probability distribution: one where there is a row on the state vector with a 100% probability, and all the rest are zero. This reflects how digital computers are deterministic. Let’s look at how we might perform digital computing operations on a quantum computer, sticking with high-school level maths.
