Defining a qubit

A qubit, a quantum bit, has a physical counterpart. For example, a quantum state can be encoded in oscillating currents with a superconductor loops. Google and IBM have experimented with this approach. Another way is to encode a qubit in an ion trapped in an electromagnetic field in a vacuum trap.

Photons, electrons, the state of light, and other technologies have emerged. Whatever the approach, calculations with 50+ qubit quantum computers will outrun classical supercomputers.

The competition is fierce because the market will rapidly become huge. Get ready now to face the disruption that's coming!
