Right. . . what's a qubit? (Old skool Bill Cosby reference)

A qubit is a "quantum bit". A regular bit can only exist as '1' or '0' at any given time. A Qubit can exist as '1', '0', both, or neither at the same time.

It means that the processes that can be done are risen exponentially. It is a great advantage over regular bits.

 

Or did I just explain something you know and Bill Cosby actually made a reference to Qubits? lol

There's a really funny bit on the "Himself" record where Noah has a conversation with God about building the ark. God is laying out the dimensions (i.e. 200 cubits by 100 cubits by 50 cubits) and he gets done and Noah says, "Right. . . what's a cubit?"

Yes I said record and yes I am that old.

BTW, thanks for the info and I have read a couple of your threads and really enjoy them.

Oh I get it. I get jokes lol.
