IBM said that its Eagle computing chip has 127 qubits.

IBM表示，鹰（Eagle）计算芯片有127个量子比特。

But the quantum weirdness goes beyond simple qubits.

但是量子的不可思议之处远不只限于量子位。

IBM said that its new Eagle chip is the first to have more than 100 qubits.

IBM表示，新的鹰（Eagle）芯片是首款拥有超过100个量子比特的芯片。

But qubits can be 1 and 0 at the same time.

但是量子比特可以同时为1和0。

But quantum bits, known as qubits, can be both zero and one at the same time.

但是量子比特可以同时代表0和1。

Both it and Google have talked of a million qubits by the end of the decade.

两家公司都谈到在十年内可以达到一百万量子比特。

I mean, they only have a few hundred qubits so far.

我的意思是， 到目前为止他们只有几百个量子比特。

So you need to keep your qubits stable.

所以你需要保持你的量子比特稳定。

So far, we can only control a few qubits in the same place at the same time.

到目前为止， 我们只能同时控制同一个地方的几个量子比特。

Qubits use this ability to do very efficient calculations.

量子位利用这种能力进行非常有效的 计算。

With three qubits, we're working in superposition across eight combinations, and so on.

对于三个量子位，我们在八种组合中进行叠加，等等。

100 qubits that we have today to a million physical qubits in the future?

我们今天拥有的 100 个量子位到未来的 100 万个物理量子位？

Because the bits in quantum computing, called quantum bits or qubits, can actually be 0 AND 1 at the same time.

因为量子计算中的二进制位被称为“量子比特”或“量子位”，它们能同时既是“0”又是“1”。

Quantum computers use qubits which can also be set to one of two values.

在量子计算机中，量子比特也可以被设定为两个值中的任意一个。

But quantum computers could use quantum bits called qubits, by using a single electron.

但是量子计算机可以通过使用单个电子来使用称为量子位的量子位。

For now, there are two leading approaches: trapped ions and superconducting qubits.

目前， 有两种主要方法：捕获离子和超导量子比特。

These qubits can solve problems exponentially faster than classical digital computers.

这些量子比特解决问题的速度比传统数字计算机快得多。

Four qubits in superposition, however, can be in all of those 16 combinations at once.

但对处于叠加态的量子比特表示的数据来说，你可以认为它同时处于这 16 种组合中的所有状态。

The researchers have worked out how to scale up this design from two qubits, to hundreds or potentially millions.

研究人员已经研究出如何将这种设计从两个量子比特扩展到数百甚至数百万。

In 2001, IBM made a quantum computer with seven qubits to demonstrate Shor's algorithm.

2001 年，IBM 制造了一台具有 7 个量子比特的量子计算机来演示 Shor 的算法。
