qubit
/ˈkjuːbɪt/
noun
- The basic unit of quantum information, similar to a bit in classical computing, but able to represent both 0 and 1 at the same time.
- Each qubit can be in a state of 0, 1, or both at once, which is called superposition.
- A quantum computer uses qubits instead of regular bits to solve problems much faster.
- Scientists are working on making qubits more stable so quantum computers can be used in everyday life.
