Entangled data are shared between two quantum computers. If there’s a fault, do both computers have to be turned off and on at the same time?

Self reported? What does that mean?

Through you own personal experience or someone else's? If the pun is to ignore what you know personally to be true through definitive experiences, then I think they have lost touch with reality. :oldlaugh:
