Are classical bits quantum?
A bit is effectively
$$|\psi\rangle = \alpha|0\rangle + \beta|1\rangle$$
where either $\alpha = 1, \beta = 0$ (the bit = 0) or $\alpha = 0, \beta = 1$ (the bit = 1).
So, yes, in the sense I think y …

Quantum memory assisting classical memory
Consider a classical computer, one making, say, a calculation involving a large amount of data. Would quantum memory allow it to store that information (in the short term) more efficiently, or better …

Quantum memory assisting classical memory
In summary, no.
If you think about it, this makes sense. When measuring a quantum system with $n$ qubits, you get $n$ bits of information. the $2^n$ figure exists only when the system is in superposit …

Can classical algorithms be improved by using quantum simulation as an intermediary step?
The question here seems to be: "can a classical computer be more efficient by simulating a quantum computer?" and "what research has been done on this?"
I think it's important, first, to point out th …
