A qubit, or quantum bit, is the basic unit of information used to encode data in quantum computing and can be best understood as the quantum equivalent of the traditional bit used by classical computers to encode information in binary.
The term “qubit” is attributed to American theoretical physicist Benjamin Schumacher.https://www.ibm.com/topics/qubit
Schumacher has a course on Quantum mechanics on the Great Courses, I heard him claim credit for this term and it turns out he wasn’t just tooting his own horn. Anyway, Jay Valentine who has election integrity process claims to use “fractal computing and quantum computing, “ which has made a lot of people skeptical. I guess this will help with his procedures if ordinary people ever get a chance to use it.
Noah: (Looks up) Is someone calling me? (Shrugs and goes back to his work)
God: (Ding) NOAH!!
Noah: Who is that?
God: It's the Lord, Noah.
Noah: Right ... Where are ya? What do ya want? I've been good.
God: I want you to build an ark.
Noah: Right ... What's an ark?
God: Get some wood and build it 300 cubits by 80 cubits by 40 cubits.
Noah: Right ... What's a cubit?
God: Well never mind. Don't worry about that right now. After you build the ark, I want you to go out into the world and collect all the animals of the world, two by two, male and female, and put them into the ark.
Noah: Right ... Who is this really?
