A Quantum Computer Works in Space for the First Time begins with a clear news idea: Our first story zooms above Earth, where engineers reported an important test: a quantum computer operated in space. A regular computer stores information in tiny bits, like switches that can be zero or one. A quantum computer uses quantum bits, often called qubits, which follow the strange rules of the very tiny world of atoms and particles. That can make certain kinds of problems possible to study in powerful new ways. Now, this does not mean a space robot suddenly became a genius or that
