Measuring the value of a qubit causes it to collapse into one of the two classical bits, 0 or 1. In a well-organised quantum computation, that should not happen until it becomes necessary to find out what one of the values actually is.<\/small><\/cite>(<a href=\"http:\/\/www.economist.com\/science\/displayStory.cfm?story_id=1682086\" class = \"source\">Economist.com | Quantum computers<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p>I still don&#8217;t understand, but it sounds interesting<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The basis for existing classical computers is the binary digit, or bit, which can have a value of either 0 or 1.
