A good question would be: how to calculate 1+1 on a quantum computer. That is still unclear to me but I'll admit I did not dive very deep into quantum computing yet.

Conventional math will be likely left with conventional computers. Quantum deals with probabilities. You'd probably (no pun intended) don't want to receive an answer in a form of bunch of variants along with probability numbers for each one for being a correct result.  ::)

So, 1 + 1 is probably 2?    :-//

Dave's interview should be interesting (hopefully), as I'm still not completely sure or convinced "quantum computing" will really be of any practical use, at least before several decades from now.

It is going to be highly probable that the result is 2  :D
As Dave says, "Confidence is High, I repeat: confidence is High"

True. I've found people who are high show a massive amount of confidence.  :)
