 Let's come back to the previous experiment:\\

-When the particle leaves the source it is in superposed state: i.e. a probability combination of |0> and |1>. When it comes to the detector, decoherence happens and collapses to a fixed state |0> or |1>.

-The same way we can regroup bits into a serie
+But manipulating qubits alone is quite useless. But the same way we can group bits into sets, qubits can be grouped into **registers**.\\
+A quantum register is a set of several qubits we will use for computing.

+You must wonder what is the point of qubits since we get 0 or 1 in the end like bits... all is about probabilities in the middle. Be patient we'll see that later.
