While I'm sure that there are quantum configurations that can only be described by qbits, I have also considered the case where something may be uncertain due to there being no bits assigned to it at all, but what that characteristic (e.g. spin) resolves to when measured is based on the probability distributions in the wave function. Mostly, I was just thinking about uncertainty, which looks like to get more information for one quantity, you must reduce the information for the other in a way that looks like they share afinite number of bits. | |
