Qubits - Heart Of Quantum Computing

Qubits, or quantum bits, are the fundamental units of quantum information in a quantum computer. Unlike classical bits, which can only represent a state of 0 or 1, qubits leverage quantum mechanical principles to represent both 0 and 1 simultaneously, as well as any superposition of these states.

Qubits Superposition Representation

Superposition is one of the fundamental principles of quantum mechanics and is the defining feature of a qubit in a quantum computer. It allows a qubit to exist in a combination of multiple states simultaneously, rather than being restricted to a single state as in classical bits.

Quantum Computer

A quantum computer is a revolutionary type of computer that leverages the principles of quantum mechanics—such as superposition, entanglement, and quantum interference—to perform computations that are infeasible for classical computers. While classical computers process information as binary bits (0 or 1), quantum computers use qubits, which can represent 0, 1, or both simultaneously.

D WAVE Quantum Computer

The D-Wave quantum computer is a specialized type of quantum computer built by D-Wave Systems, a company headquartered in Burnaby, Canada. It is known for pioneering quantum annealing technology, which is different from the gate-based quantum computing approach used by companies like IBM and Google.
