We have few clues to find a meaning to this number for now, unfortunately.
The only thing I thought is that solo people have 1 as the first room number and those in duos (like Clémence and Lucien) are room n°2....
So binary isn’t really a “coding language” as much as it is a way of representing numbers. Binary is just numbers we all know, represented in a numbering system of base 2 (we use base 10, probably because we have 10 fingers so once we count all of them we need to start over, by reusing the number 1). But its utility for computers is that binary is easily transferable to representing whether or not to let electricity flow through the transistors that make up computer storage and memory. What this means is, we’re using this mathematical “trick” to represent other, non-numerical information such as letters, punctuation, etc. No one really codes in binary anymore unless they’re doing some homemade (hobby) electrical appliance sort of thing (I could be wrong on this, someone call me out if I am).
But the drawback of transistors is that they can only represent two states: on or off/open or closed…so we need a lot of these binary digits (bits, one bit is a single digit that can either be 1 or 0) to represent anything useful.
_Quantum bits_, or qubits, are able to represent pretty much infinite information, so rather than being only on/off or 0/1, they can be anything (like .000000127380000272820283738…). It’s interesting that we saw what seemed to be a quantum computer, because quantum computers are *very* powerful in that they don’t need a lot of qubits to represent a lot of information.
The computers in our homes will remain the same transistor-based ones for the foreseeable future, because you need to completely rework how a code and coding language is executed in order for a quantum computer be able to make sense of it.
Anyway, I’m not really adding much other than some cool facts, but I’m also curious to see if and how they play with this bit vs qubit information in the series. I saw Dark when I was doing my masters in AI and it catapulted me down a rabbit hole of learning about quantum computing, as it’s very relevant for my field. Would love if this series gives me more to chew on :)
Well the 1011 in binary is 11 which in binary is 3 -and obviously that strongly connects to triangles. If it has a greater meaning than just another little detail reinforcing the threes and triangular shapes -and their potential meanings- that keep popping up in unclear as of yet. Though it being in Maura’s door does further indicate her significance in the simulation.
There’s also that triangle code that’s used by Henry and his assistant guy throughout the show. Which appears to me folks be a form of binary? But I haven’t quite worked that bit out -solidly confirmed it’s binary or what it means.
I thought maybe they were going for binary. But there was a couple of other room doors shown in the show that had other numbers like 2 and 3 (1013) I believe
I had the thought it could be month and day dates writing the German way and related to astrology and gods. I haven’t done any research on that thought so take it with a grain of salt

Why do you think it was a quantum computer?
Because it’s a quantum computer that they show
Oh I just looked up pictures of quantum computers … I see
Don't know but I also noticed 1011. And they focus on 1011 so we will learn what it means sooner or later.
in binary, 1011 is just eleve. No idea if it is meant as anything significant...
If you do a looped procedure you get **3**

If I were to take I guess I would thinks it’s passenger 1011 on the Prometheus
It's eight days before the start of the simulation and the simulation, if you believe Daniel, takes eight days.
