5 things you didn't know about quantum computers

Any discussion of quantum computing sounds like a leap in science fiction. Each new piece of information seems to call into question our accomplishments and our understanding of the world. In a world as captivating as that of quantum computing, there are certain truths hidden behind the difficulty of understanding quantum computers, yet they are worth highlighting. As we showed you in a previous article, quantum computers work thanks to " qubit, the quantitative equivalent ofBit of our modern computers. When we talk about the number of qubits of a quantum computer, we are generally talking about the number of logical qubits and not the number of physical qubits. In fact, due to the large error rate of the current qubits, it takes a large number of physical qubits to create a single "functional" logical qubit. To be more clear, imagine for example an old bot, you can ask it a question. It will only respond 7 out of 10 times and crashes regularly when you ask it your question.
