Hey Tech, Im trying to learn how to make my own computer chips from cpu to ram...

Firstly, quantum computing won't break all encryption, just certain kinds of asymmetric encryption. For example, AES is in no danger as far as anyone knows.
Secondly, as quantum computing matures, people will find more use for it. The people selling IBM 360s couldn't conceive of a use for personal computers back in the day. If you asked one of them what a household could use a computer for, they would probably scratch their heads before saying "I suppose a woman could store her recipes on one".
Thirdly, even if quantum computing is used only by governments now, it is very likely that it will eventually come to the civilian market. It's happened with most major technologies before, and I don't see why it won't happen again. Hell, there are already civilian companies trying to build quantum computers today. Once they are perfected, it will only be a matter of time before they are used more widely.

I learned a lot about hardware from the later chapters of projectoberon.com

mojo board is shit and has shit documentation.
altera cyclone 2 is $20 and does everything you need as a beginner.

Nice thinking there guy
That's actually kind of what I intend to do.
I debated with myself after finding the second link if I should first implement the SECD architecture in a more abstract way before porting it to HDL or just writing detailed architecture docs.
I like the idea of implementing one from scratch but I might eventually go with implementing am already simulated one.
Thanks for the first link though

I made a binary double adder.

this man has created something legendary this is so cool

calling this a computer is a huge stretch.
most of the time the homemade 4 and 8 bit "computers" you find on interweb are nothing more but ALUs, which are just a fraction of a CPU.
been there OP, and i'm not the reading kind of guy i get border easily.
if you're like me i would recommend to get your hand in the dirt and start building.
there are many calculators, z80 and 6502 based computer diagrams out there.
as you go through the building process you'll learn how they work, like it it.
i find it easier to learn that way than reading some abstract shit on a book

This is a lot more than just an ALU. Did you even see the modules?

you can have electricity and call that the 1
you can not have electricity and call that the 0
now tell me how you would get a 3rd state out of this and make a feasible computer.
