Il faut bien faire la distinction entre «ordinateur quantique» et «calculateur quantique»; le premier peut être programmé pour exécuter n'importe quel algorithme quantique, alors que le second ne peut exécuter qu'un seul algorithme ou une seule classe d'algorithme. Les termes désignent des systèmes différents et ne sont pas interchangeables. 5, record 1, French, - calculateur%20quantique
