Why Quantum Computers Use Qubits

A classical bit is represented as 0 or 1. A qubit is a quantum system that can be prepared in a combination of basis states and manipulated with quantum gates.

The simple idea

Quantum algorithms exploit operations such as superposition, entanglement and interference. These effects can help certain algorithms process information in ways that have no direct classical analogue.

The important detail

Quantum computers remain difficult to build because qubits are sensitive to noise and errors. Practical systems require careful control, error mitigation and, for fault-tolerant operation, substantial error correction.

Start with the concept, separate established facts from open research questions, then connect it back to the bigger technology journey.
