Reminds me of an old Bill Cosby routine;

"Riiiight. What's a cubit?"

The first qubit computers I've seen had each qubit in a separate liquid nitrogen container separated by several feet strung down a hallway.

Have they done anything to compress the size?

Also, I believe that qubit computers can only solve certain types of problems because very few algorithms have been developed that will allow technologists to take advantage of the qubit architecture.

Qubits are the quantum equivalents of classical computing bits, able to be set not just as a 1 or a 0, but as a superposition state that can represent both 1 and 0 at the same time. This deceptively simple property has the potential to revolutionise the amount of computing power at our disposal.

I don’t know what this means, but it’s interesting!

Meanwhile, D-Wave announced a 5000 qubit computer a year ago.

In about 25 years, the computers of today will be utterly primitive. By then, you will be able to hold the world's information in a memory chip the size of your fingernail with plenty of room to spare.

About a trillion yottabytes.

I am committed to a million times more processing power than that by 2022. Doesn’t mean I will get there.
