Do you have a source? Thank you for the reply.

The reason that these quantum computers are so difficult to build, if I understand correctly, is because of some sort of "information leakage." I'll just get to the point. Do we know whether or not the conscious observer is the reason that this information leakage causes them to fail? Does Schrodinger's Cat, while I know this is an attempt to say quantum physics is silly, actually have bearing on reality? Most importantly, is it possible to actually answer these questions? I have been under the impression that being observed changes the tendencies of tiny particles, which leads one to believe that it is because someone is consciously observing it. However, we can never know the results of an experiment without a conscious observer (a.k.a. Someone to give us the results). I apologize if this is off-topic.
