Explaining how qubits store information in quantum computing

Original: my first attempt at grasping what's going on with trying to store information as "qubits" (units of # quantum computing)

A public attempt to understand quantum computing has drawn attention to a core physics question: how can information be stored in a physical system that exists in multiple superposed states at once. The questioner admits the first attempt to grasp qubits failed and raises the issue of keeping systems near absolute zero to preserve superposition, reflecting a common confusion about quantum information storage.

Why now: Quantum computing is a fast-moving topic and the difficulty of understanding qubits makes it widely discussed.

• my first attempt at grasping what's going on with trying to store information as "qubits" (units of # quantum computing) quite failed. how does one store information in a physical system capable of existing in multiple superposed states? if everything were near absolute zero… · mxchara@cyberpunk.lol · 2
