A qubit is the basic unit of quantum information used in quantum computation.
A qubit can exist in a superposition of states.
Description
Unlike classical bits, qubits can represent multiple states simultaneously, enabling powerful computational capabilities.
Properties
- quantum information unit
- supports superposition
- used in quantum computing
