CPU vs Quantum Processor Data flows through the gates on a regular computer processor, gates such as and,or,xor In a Quantum Computer, the data is on the chip meaning the quantum information is drawn in the chip. The regular way it processes is opposite of a regular computer. Pulses get sent to the data to manipulate it rather than data flowing through the circuit.
