  • n. Plural form of qubit.


Sorry, no etymologies found.


  • But what it has to do with is using computers that can choose realities rather than being chosen by the users because quantum computers work with the idea that things aren't so firmly decided, they work with things which are called qubits, which are capable of being in any state rather than just being on or off.

  • Gao and his peers generated the six-qubit state using photons, and then used single qubit measurements to apply the CNOT gate to arbitrary single input qubits, which is thought to be one of the keys to creating universal quantum computation. - latest science and technology news stories

    The Father of Quantum Computing

  • Experiments have now been made involving "qubits," which are units of information ( "two-dimensional quantum systems").

  • WASHINGTON - A scientist has found a way of manipulating single electrons that will potentially constitute a quantum computer's processing bits or 'qubits', overcoming a very major design hurdle.




  • Rather than relying on binary bits like contemporary systems, quantum computers use "qubits" that include all possible superpositions of a particle's classical state.


  • Today, with the dominance of computers throughout society, the universe is increasingly being described as a computing machine with the basic stuff that the universe being bits of information -- or qubits, which are the information units in quantum computers.
