"spooky action at a distance"

another excerpt:
"Ordinary computers store data and perform computations as a series of
"bits," switches that are either on or off, but in a quantum computer, due
to the principle of superposition, so-called qubits can be on and off at the
same time, enabling them to calculate and store myriads of numbers at a
time."
