question about ternary and quantum computing?
was reading about the 1950s soviet Setun ternary computer, and recent (breakthroughs?) in quantum computing. Is it fair to say that the ternary computing seems to have had *very* little dev in the last 60 years because energy consumption just hasn't been *the* concern, and quantum computing seems to be revolutionary for niches like route-planning in logistics.
like, we're unlikely to see widespread consumer deployment of quantum anytime soon due to its niche advantages, and from what I'm reading... ternary computing has been basically abandoned (aside from a few small boutique chip makers) at this point due to the sheer lag time in scaling up manufacturing when binary chips are just so far ahead?
also, does ternary have some niche advantage for LLMs or something?
