The crucial part is the quantum chip, which is a processor built from the superconducting materials aluminum and niobium, then chilled in a tank of liquid helium. It achieves supercomputing speeds because its basic data units—called qubits—can hold both the values 0 and 1 simultaneously, and instantly share those values among all the qubits. 2, record 1, English, - quantum%20computing%20chip
