In the fascinating intersection of quantum computing and the human experience of time, lies a groundbreaking theory that challenges our conventional narratives: the D-Theory of Time.

D-Theory sheds light on time not as fundamental but as an emergent phenomenon arising from the quantum mechanical fabric of the universe.
