Qubits – The Quantum Building Blocks of Computation

Qubits – The Quantum Building Blocks of Computation

This page explains what qubits are, how they differ from classical bits, and how physical systems such as photons, ions, and superconducting circuits can encode quantum information. It helps students connect abstract quantum ideas with real hardware used in today’s experimental quantum computers.
