It hasn’t been 0 or 1 since the 70’s.

Even 360 modulation is out. Think 5G

OK I’m out of this conversation on that note :)

It just went from confusing to don’t bother for me :)

Regular computers are based on “bits” – imagine them as little switches pointing to either a 1 or a 0.

Quantum computing relies on quantum bits, or “qubits”, which can also represent a 0 or a 1. The crazy thing is, qubits can also achieve a mixed state, called a “superposition” where they are both 1 and 0 at the same time. This ambiguity – the ability to both “be” and “not be” – is key to the power of quantum computing.

So here it seems like 0 and 1 are still used.

It’s from this article.

I thought 0s and 1s were still at the most basic level of programming still.
