superconducting qubits

Superconducting qubits are a type of quantum bit used in quantum computers. They rely on the principles of superconductivity, where certain materials conduct electricity with no resistance at very low temperatures. In this state, qubits can exist in multiple states simultaneously—this is called superposition—allowing them to perform many calculations at once. Superconducting qubits are made by creating tiny circuits that can switch between different energy levels, encoding information in their quantum states. Their ability to quickly process vast amounts of data makes them a promising technology for advancing quantum computing.
