We now know that "quantum objects" might not need to be single atoms or photons.

现在我们知道“量子物体”可能不需要单个粒子或光子。

These vibrations can be thought of as quantum objects called phonons, and the study of noise boils down to understanding their physics.

这种震动可以被看做叫做声子的量子物体，对于噪音的研究说到底都是对声子物理的理解。

Just as bits are ideal objects abstracted from the principles of classical physics, qubits are ideal quantum objects abstracted from the principles of quantum mechanics.

位元是从古典物理原则中抽取出的理想物体，同样地，量子位元是从量子力学原理抽取出的理想量子物体。

But these packets, called photons, are also endowed with the indeterminate properties that make them quantum objects - so an optical computer can also be a quantum computer.

This is when the laws of quantum mechanics, a branch of physics that describes the interaction of objects smaller than molecules, wreak havoc on the way chips are designed.

FORBES: Atoms Offer Giant Leap In Computing Power

The "quantum states" of atoms, light particles known as photons, molecules and even objects big enough to be seen have been extensively studied.
