Comment on Two Big Steps Toward the Quantum Computer

Comments

IANAQP, but doesn't this article describe measuring the state of a quant? Shouldn't measuring put a quant into a defined state, i.e. destroying its superposition?

Measuring certainly would, but I don't think that's what it's describing. Instead, I think it is describing connecting the qbits together and allowing them all to share the same super-position through the entangled photon.
