Could Quantum Computing be accurately described as being "binary fractals"?

No. Fractals are self-similar at different scales. I’m not aware of anything like that in quantum computers, theoretical or actual.

How do quantum computers compute? What computational processes, or algorithms, do they use that are different from our conventional computers? Do they take a binary input and split it into an infinite number of things? Or is it a statistical probability based on a superposition of an infinite number of possible outcomes?
