Quantum computing yes, with qubits. But also tenery computing with trits, and probabilistic computing with p-bits. Analog computers probably fit in this category too.
Probabilistic computing will probably become big before quantum computers, because it’s a natural fit for probabilistic LLMs. Lots of work being done in this hardware field with photonics, neuromorphic and thermodynamic chips.
Non-binary PC is just a quantum computer innit?
I feel that you’re stringing us along with that theory.
There’s also analog computers: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analog_computer
Alas, they got largely displaced by digital computers…
