Question

A qubit is a basic unit of information that is similar to the 0s and 1s (bits) that represent transistors in today's computers. using qubits in processors and memory is called ___ computing.

Answer 1

quantum

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to know the descriptor applied to computing using qubits in processors and memory.

Quantum computing

A "bit" is a unit of information, stored in one of two states designated as 1 or 0. It is manipulated in computers generally using circuitry and logic that is bistable—existing in only one of these two states. Digital computers have been designed this way from their earliest conception. (In a few cases, designs have made use of multiple discrete states.)

A "qubit" is a unit of logic or memory that holds a superposition of states. It represents both "0" and "1" at the same time. This is possible because of the properties of matter as described by quantum mechanics. Computing that makes use of qubit technology is called "quantum" computing.
