information is transferred in qubits 51 00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:58,819 information is transferred in qubits which have the same purpose as a 52 00:00:58,819 --> 00:00:58,829 which have the same purpose as a 53 00:00:58,829 --> 00:01:00,680 which have the same purpose as a traditional computer bits but are 54 00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:00,690 traditional computer bits but are 55 00:01:00,690 --> 00:01:03,049 traditional computer bits but are radically more powerful these qubits can 56 00:01:03,049 --> 00:01:03,059 radically more powerful these qubits can 57 00:01:03,059 --> 00:01:05,570 radically more powerful these qubits can eventually form quantum gates which can 58 00:01:05,570 --> 00:01:05,580 eventually form quantum gates which can 59 00:01:05,580 --> 00:01:07,580 eventually form quantum gates which can lean to quantum circuits that's the 60 00:01:07,580 --> 00:01:07,590 lean to quantum circuits that's the 61 00:01:07,590 --> 00:01:09,590 lean to quantum circuits that's
