quantum computer
noun [ C ] uk/ˌkwɒn.təm kəmˈpjuː.tər/ us/ˌkwɑːn.t̬əm kəmˈpjuː.t̬ɚ/
量子计算机：使用量子比特（具有量子特性的计算机信息单元）代替比特（必须为0或1的计算机信息单元），可以比传统计算机更快地进行某些类型的复杂计算。
a computer that does certain types of complicated calculations much faster than a traditional computer, using qubits (= units of computer information that have quantum characteristics ) instead of bits (= units of computer information that must be either 0 or 1)
A quantum computer would need hundreds or thousands of qubits to do meaningful work.
A quantum computer could easily factor large integers, allowing them to break most cryptographic systems. 量子计算机可以轻松地分解大整数，使它们能够破解大多数加密系统。
