Superconducting quantum bits (qubits)

Superconducting quantum bits, or qubits, are tiny circuits made from superconducting materials that can hold and process quantum information. They operate at extremely low temperatures to eliminate electrical resistance, allowing electrons to flow without energy loss. These qubits leverage quantum phenomena like superposition (being in multiple states simultaneously) and entanglement (linking qubits so the state of one instantly influences another). They form the building blocks of quantum computers, which have the potential to solve complex problems much faster than traditional computers by performing many calculations simultaneously.
