QoS Quality of Service
quad-core having four CPU cores.
See CORE (definition 1).
quantum computing a possible method for creating future computers
based on the laws of quantum mechanics.
Classical computers rely on
physical devices that have two distinct states (1 and 0).
In quantum
mechanics, a particle is actually a wave function that can exist as a
superposition (combination) of different states.
A quantum computer
would be built with qubits rather than bits.
Theoretical progress has been
made in designing a quantum computer that could perform computations
on many numbers at once, which could make it possible to solve problems now intractable, such as factoring very large numbers.
However,
there are still practical difficulties that would need to be solved before
such a computer could be built.
