Computers transmit information in bits: 0's and 1's. Off or on.

计算机将“1”或“0”表进位来传输信息，逻辑属性表为“关或开”。

Because the bits in quantum computing, called quantum bits or qubits, can actually be 0 AND 1 at the same time.

因为子计算中进位被称为“子比特”或“子位”，它们能同时既是“0”又是“1”。

The computer or phone or tablet you're using right now renders data in binary bits.

你现在使电脑、手机或平板电脑以进位来处理数据。

One of the ways to get your head around this is take it as read for a moment that a qubit, unlike a traditional classical binary bit, can represent, you know, essentially a real number or the state to some extent of a system.

理解这一点一个方法是暂时接受这样一个事实：子比特与传统经典进位不同，它可以表一个实数或在某种程度上表系统状态。

All this uses up a lot of valuable bandwidth Processing data in space before transmission would reduce clutter but this can be tricky Cosmic rays randomly flip the ones and zeros that computers operate on Introducing unpredictable errors.

所有这些都会占宝贵带宽。在传输前在太空对数据进行处理可以减少杂乱，但这可能会很棘手。宇宙射线会随机翻转计算机操作进位，从而引入不可预测错误。

The bit of digital binary was invented here, and as an extension, Claude Shannon and John Pierce invented pulse code modulation, which is the way we record sound digitally.

数字进位在此诞生，随之而来是克劳德·香农和约翰·皮尔斯发明了脉冲编码调技术，这正是我们如今以数字方式记录声音方式。

Each of these three numbers, from 0 to 255, is represented by 8 bits in binary, or 8 1s and 0s, you know, because computers work in binary.

这三个数字， 从0到255，都由8个进位表，也就是8个1或0， 你知道，因为计算机使进运算。

A sequence of bits that is recognized by the processor as one of the instructions in its instruction set.

一串被处理器验证过进位序列，它作为其指令集一个子集。
