    I’m also not an expert on this, but from my limited knowledge, the problem with measurements collapsing a qubit into either 1 or 0 is because they’re so small and so finicky that any measurement is by nature destructive. They’re small enough that throwing a photon at it causes them to lose information, and you can’t measure them without throwing a photon at it.
