Like an ordinary bit, a qubit can be either one or zero. But it can also exist in " superposition" , a chimerical mix of both states at once.

和普通位样，量子位要么是，要么是零。但它也可以以“叠加”形式存，即两种状态同时存种空想混合。

This, he called superposition, where a particle exists in a combination of states.

他称之为叠加，即粒子以多种状态组合存。

And so that's the superposition or the stacking up of all of these very low frequency gravitational wave signals from the cosmic merger history of supermassive black hole mergers.

它是所有这些超低频引波信号叠加或堆积，而它们来自宇宙超大质量黑洞累计合并。

And using quantum mechanical properties called superposition and entanglement, the quantum computer will help identify the better routes faster than a classical computer ever could.

利用量子学中叠加和纠缠特，量子计算机能比传统计算机更快地找出更优路线。

The system of both cats is again in a superposition state, with each outcome having a 25% chance rather than 50%.

这个两只猫系统又存于叠加态，每种结果都有25%可能，而不是50％。

One of the distinctive features of the quantum world is the possibility of state superpositions, where particles' positions or velocities can be simultaneously in two or more different states.

量子世界有个特色是「量子叠加」可能，是粒子所或速度能同时处于两种以上不同状态，如果你能让电子处于叠加现象。

In quantum physics, we could say that before our observation the cat was in a superposition state.

量子物理中，我们可以说观测之前，那只猫处于叠加态。

But here's the cool thing: quantum mechanics tells us it's possible to erase the both cats alive and both cats dead outcomes from the superposition state.

接下来就很有趣了，量子学告诉我们，有可能从叠加态中消除两只猫都活着或都死去结果。

If you can put the electron into a superposition of being simultaneously kicked and not kicked, it'll be almost impossible for your opponents to figure out where and how to strike.

即同时处于「撞到」和「没撞到」状态，那么你对手就几乎无法判断何时及如何发动攻势。

It is the superposition of both of those waves together.

这是这两列波叠加。

That's one of the lessons from today, like sitting in the thinking in superpositions, right?

这就是今天个教训，比如坐思维叠加态中，对吧？

This is the superposition and probability of the universe.

这是宇宙叠加和概率。

And that is this idea of entanglement and the ideal of superposition.

这就是纠缠概念和叠加态概念。

These include designing new drugs and materials giving a boost to the field of learning and making obsolete the cryptographic codes that lock up some of the world secrets Quantum computers employ three counterintuitive phenomena One is superposition.

这些包括设计新药物和材料，推动学习领域发展，并使些保护世界秘密加密代码过时。量子计算机运用了三种反直觉现象，其中之是叠加。

So he sort of came up with a way to amplify a microscopic superposition, like we might have for an electron or an atom, and amplify it up to a macroscopic thing like a cat.

所以他想出了种方法，可以放大微观叠加态，比如电子或原子可能具有叠加态，并将其放大到宏观物体，比如只猫。

And so it's a whole thing about like everything's sort of a superposition of existing and not existing and coming in and out of the vacuum and canceling out with other particles.

所以这切就像是所有东西都处于存与不存叠加状态，进出真空，并与其他粒子相互抵消。

From the perspective of that observer, this superposition collapses to be entirely in one state, or entirely in another: dead or alive, horizontal or vertical.

从那个观察者角度来看，这种叠加会坍缩到完全处于种状态，或者完全处于另种状态：死或活，水平或垂直。

It can exist in a superposition, or a combination of zero and one, with some probability of being zero and some probability of being one.

它可以以叠加形式存， 或者以零和组合形式存，有可能为零， 也有可能为。

So it's a sort of bridging principle that takes you from this weird world of superpositions to the definite reality you're actually going to observe.

因此，这是个桥梁原理，将你从叠加奇异世界引向实际观察到确定现实。

But on a quantum computer, with enough qubits in superposition, information can be extracted from all combinations at the same time.

但量子计算机上， 如果有足够多量子比特叠加，就可以同时从所有组合中提取信息。
