Comment on 'Unprecedented' discovery could propel quantum computers to realityparent

Comments

Superposition can be described as follows. You can correlate two qubits together magically.

That's entanglement not superposition.

Yea, sorry. I haven't studied quantum computing so I am trying to do a plain English explanation to further my understanding.

I should have described entanglement as the correlation of two qubits at after their interaction when they are separated.

Superposition should have been described as both particles being able to take any state in a set of two spherical vectors.

I will correct this when I explain it further. Thanks sp332!
