…In the quantum realm, the properties of particles exist probabilistically…

…“You can take any classical program and compile it to a sequence of Boolean operations and Boolean logic gates,” Bartlett said…

…“This is the same idea here except that instead of having gates that flip bits conditional on other bits, you have gates that will rotate the state of your qubit.”…

…There is immediate potential for the researchers’ quantum computer design to be used for optimization algorithms, search algorithms and new methods for discovering chemical compounds in the pharmaceutical industry…
