Quantum computing is an area of computing focused on developing computer technology based on the principles of quantum theory ... Computers used today can only encode information in bits that take the value of 1 or 0 — restricting their ability ... Quantum computing, on the other hand, uses quantum bits or qubits. It harnesses the unique ability of subatomic particles that allows them to exist in more than one state (i.e., a 1 and a 0 at the same time). 2, record 1, English, - quantum%20computing

En effet, dans le domaine de l'informatique classique, un «bit» ne peut exister que dans deux états : 1 ou 0. Dans l'informatique quantique, les «bits quantiques» (qubits) ont deux états, mais peuvent stocker davantage d'informations que 1 ou 0, car ils peuvent exister dans n'importe quelle superposition de ces valeurs. 3, record 1, French, - informatique%20quantique

La computación cuántica es una forma radicalmente nueva de procesar la información, posibilitada por propiedades exclusivas de la mecánica cuántica tales como la superposición de estados (que origina el denominado paralelismo cuántico) y la existencia de correlaciones sin análogo clásico (entrelazamiento y correlaciones cuánticas). 1, record 1, Spanish, - computaci%C3%B3n%20cu%C3%A1ntica
