   I still don't understand quantum computation and how can computation be non-deterministic

     @antichrist_hater @SuperSnekFriend Quantum computing is non-deterministic because of the imprecision in measuring the resulting state.
     
     The best they can do to KNOW the result of the quantum calculation, is to do it several times, and gather a statistical certainty.
     
     It would be like, if you had to examine pictures, where someone was holding up a certain number of fingers, but the resolution is too small, and sometimes 2 fingers are in the same pixel, so it appears to only be one. But, you have several pictures of each state, so by looking at all of them, you can tell that the most likely state is, in fact 2 fingers and not one.

     @SuperSnekFriend but then how can quantum computing compute anything accurate, how is it different from just random.

     @antichrist_hater I think the non-deterministic part comes from quantum mechanics not following a certain physical laws; that is, what, or better said who, determines the behavior of quanta is not perfectly consistent like other physical phenomena and the reason why cannot fully be known with empirical analysis.
