What can my homemade quantum computer do?

It’s a long passage but I tried to paraphrase it accurately. Here’s the full quote: How might we measure the speed of propagation of an electromagnetic wave? One can think of two different approaches: (a) Follow a wave crest: If you watch one particular wave crest, you will see that it travels a distance λ (one wavelength) in a time T (one period). Therefore the speed of the crest is v = λ / T (b) Time the arrival of a radiative electric field: One could imagine a different way of measuring the speed of an electromagnetic wave. Suppose that you and a friend synchronize your clocks, then travel to locations that are a distance d apart. Your friend aims a laser at your location, and precisely at time t1, turns on the laser. You record the time t2 at which you first detect the radiative electric field. In the laser light, and knowing the distance between the locations and the elapsed time Δt = t2 - t1, you calculate the speed at which the laser light traveled toward you: v = d / Δt In a vacuum, these two ways of measuring the speed of a sinusoidal electromagnetic wave will give the same answer: 3 x 10^8 m/s. However, this will not necessarily be the case if part or all of the space through which the light wave travels is filled with a medium such as water, glass, or even air. In this case, method 2 (measuring the time required for information about a change in the electromagnetic field to travel a given distance) will still give 3 x 10^8 m/s. However, method 1 (timing the interval between crests in a steady state electromagnetic wave inside the medium) will give a different answer, which will almost always be less than 3 x 10^8 m/s.$
