 Quantum parallelism: Period of a sequence:
The computation is now complete and we retrieve the output from the quantum computer by measuring the state of all spins in the first register (the first k bits).

 Quantum engineering moves on (January 1999) - Physics World - PhysicsWeb
In the language of quantum computing the quantum bit is stored in (long-lived) internal atomic states, while the string of ions represents a quantum register.
Both types of single quantum system comprise a single spin-½ atom with two possible states - spin up or spin down - that is strongly coupled to a harmonic oscillator (the time-dependent trapping potential for the trapped ions, or the photon field in cavity-based experiments).
In the early days, the dynamics and behaviour of lasers and other quantum optical systems were dominated by dissipative effects and uncontrollable fluctuations of important parameters, such as the number of atoms in the system.

 The Initialization Problem in Quantum Computing
Quantum errors, on the other hand, perturb the information bits, in a nonlocal sense, to a superposition of many states so the concept of controlling all errors by using a higher dimensional codeword space cannot be directly applied.
According to the positivist understanding of quantum mechanics, it is essential to speak from the point of view of the observer and not ask about any intrinsic information in a quantum state[6].
The paper also presents general observations on the nonlocal nature of quantum errors and the expected performance of the recently proposed quantum error-correction codes that are based on the assumption that the errors are either bit-flip or phase-flip or both.

A quantum logic gate, like a classical gate, is a very simple computing device that performs one elementary quantum operation, usually on two qubits, in a given period of time[4].

 Boffins unveil world's most powerful quantum computer The Register
Quantum computing works by using an atom's quantum spin state - essentially the direction it's rotating in - as a way of storing binary data: spin up equals 1, spin down equals 0.
Quantum theory, however, states that unobserved particles can spin in both directions simultaneously - it's called 'superposition'- a single direction only emerges when someone one measures it.
Bizarre, we know, but that's what the statistical calculations behind the theory say, and since it's what makes the quantum computer work, who are we to argue?

In quantum computing, 2 8-qubit registers is not the equivalent to 1 16-cubit register, which is much harder to produce.
Quantum computers are enormously error prone and even though a lot of work has been done in the area of quantum error correction, there is still a minimal amount of operation relability in order to create a system with any realiability.
quantum computers can implement quantum algorithms, which so far have been proven to solve several interesting problems more efficiently than any known classical algorithm, and in some cases (most notably factoring, and therefore the cracking of RSA encryption keys) exponentially more so.

 NIST Ion Storage Group
However, there is a drawback to this sort of computation: according to quantum mechanics, whenever we read the state of a quantum register, we effectively collapse the superposition to one particular value and immediately destroy the parallelism.
A quantum logic gate is a fundamental building block of a quantum computer, just as conventional logic gates (AND, OR, Exclusive-OR, etc.) are the building blocks for traditional digital logic.
In a quantum computer, data can be stored in qubits, each of which is a two-level quantum mechanical system, with basis states 0> and 1> (for example).

 New Scientist Breaking News - Atomic register offers route to quantum computing
Sean Barrett, a researcher at Hewlett Packard's Laboratory in Bristol, UK, says the key problem with developing any quantum logic gate is preventing it from interacting with the outside world, which can destroy its quantum state.
This could offer a more reliable way to build a working quantum computer than other techniques, suggest researchers.
This is especially tricky because it requires the atoms to share quantum information, although the researchers believe it should be possible to achieve this by exciting one of the atoms so that it exchanges a photon with the other.

 Japanese boffins advance quantum computing The Register
The quantum computer, when it is finally brought to fruition, will likely far surpass the capabilities of even the most modern of today's supercomputers, as it utilizes a "qubit," a quantum superposition of the "0" and "1" states, as the basic information unit.

 Quantum computing method using magnetic flux states at a josephson junction - US Patent 6563311
One embodiment of the invention is a quantum computing structure such as a quantum coherer or a quantum register that includes a bank of a superconducting material and an island of a superconducting material, wherein at least one of the island and the bank is a d-wave superconductor.
Quantum computing generally involves initializing the states of N qubits (quantum bits), creating controlled entanglements among the N qubits, allowing the quantum states of the qubits to evolve under the influence of the entanglements, and reading the qubits after they have evolved.
After the structure is at the appropriate temperature, the method establishes a supercurrent at the junction in a quantum state that is an admixture of a first state having a first magnetic moment and a second state having a second magnetic moment.

 Digital magnetic flux measuring apparatus using superconducting quantum interference device with flux trapping prevention features - Patent 5287058
The magnetic flux detected through this operation largely stems from the trapped flux.PHI..sub.t and, hence, the value counted by the up-down counter 4 is received as the trapped flux.PHI..sub.t by the register 16.
The positive external magnetic flux (.PHI..sub.e.sup.+) that is applied to the pickup coil 51b under this condition, is transferred to the SQUID ring 51a via the flux transformer 51c, whereby the Ic-axis undergoes parallel translation toward the right side from the relationship of FIG.
As a matter of fact, however, since the magnetic flux trapped by the SQUID ring is compensated, the counter generates the corresponding offset quantity and thereby the counting range or the dynamic range of the counter is narrowed.
