Sound vibrations can mimic properties of quantum computing

Some properties of quantum computers can be mimicked with sounds trapped in simple mechanical devices. This has the advantage of being less fragile than a quantum computer and replicating some of its properties.
Quantum computers may eventually be able to solve problems that the best conventional supercomputers can’t, but they’re tricky to work with. Many computers lose their quantum nature, the key to their superiority over regular computers, and quickly stop working due to disturbances from the environment.
