You are correct. I should have stated non binary. The way they get around the conflict is by stating it operates in any or all states at the same time and therefore entanglement. So I'm not sure if the state can actual be determined at a given instance as it is with a binary system. Maybe that's why error correction is so difficult. A binary system gives a 1 or a 0 at a time and it's done. A quantum computer exist in a 1,0, or both environment. The way one gets and answer is between quantum bits. which can continuously change. It is able to handle far more complicated tasks than a binary computer. I don't know how this entanglement actually works. It's easier to understand binary because it's not in a state of continuous change.
