If this seems too big a topic, perhaps we could start with a simpler question: to what extent is the (SQM) concept of 'qubits' nonsensical, in the ATM ideas being presented in this thread?

At first I thought all the talk about quantum computing was nonsense. Then I realized that it actually supports the case that the e/m field is continuous. There is no limit to the amount of data that can be stored in a finite amount of space if you use high enough frequencies. Of course there will be practical limits but they are incredibly huge.
Of course the
quantum computing people do not talk about the actual e/m field they talk about all sorts of entanglement and superposition. I interpret superposition to simply mean the sum of two waves. Entanglement is really about our statistical knowledge of nature rather than nature itself. I do not think that there is anything happening that is not explicable by classical electromagnetism PLUS a proper statistical understanding PLUS these ideas about WSM etc.
