qubit - quantum computers


"For instance, a quantum bit (qubit), like a classic bit, can attain two different well-defined states�0 or 1. However, unlike classical bits, qubits can exist simultaneously as 0 and 1, with the probability for each state given by a numerical coefficient. Quantum computers have the capacity to be immensely powerful because they have the ability to superposition. Superpositioning means a body can be in multiple states at once and act on all its possible states simultaneously. Therefore, a quantum computer could theoretically perform a variety of operations in parallel using a single processing unit."

How cool is that??
