This video expands on how quantum computers work: http://youtu.be/g_IaVepNDT4
Professor Morello explains why spin does not mean that the particle is actually rotating. Subatomic particles like the electron, neutron and proton have spin, which means they act like tiny bar magnets. This can be used in quantum computing applications.
