Is Quantum Computing Mirroring Reality?

quantum computers are totally leveraging the principles of quantum mechanics so and for example if you are a bit familiar with quantum mechanics you know that electrons can have different spins they can be in spin up or spin down. The same core idea of quantum computing as long as you don't make measurements the system can be in a superposition of all the possible states. What does an observation look like? Once you observe it it falls back to a classical state again, which is one of the biggest challenges with quantum computers. You should not look and you should not be able to look because once you observe the system it falls down to the classical state.
