* https://quantumtech.blog/2023/01/17/quantum-computing-with-neutral-atoms/ OK this one hits it:
\Q[As Alex Keesling, CEO of <QuEra> told me, "... whereas in gate-based \[digital\] quantum computing the focus is on the sequence of the gates, in analog quantum processing it's more about the position of the atoms and where you place them so they can mirror real life problems. We arrange the atoms and define the forces that drive them and then measure the result... so it’s a geometric encoding of the problem itself."]
So we understand that it is truly like the <classical computer> analog vs digital case.

{title=<TensorFlow quantum> by Masoud Mohseni (2020)}
{description=At the timestamp, Masoud gives a <thought experiment> example of the perhaps simplest to understand <analog quantum computer>: chained <double-slit experiments> with carefully calculated distances between slits. Calulating the final propability distribution of that grows exponentially.}
