    Quantum Computing - Will it make it to the desktop?

    A classical computer has a memory made up of bits, where each bit is represented by either a one or a zero. A quantum computer maintains a sequence of qubits. A single qubit can represent a one, a zero, or any quantum superposition of those two qubit states;[11]:13–16 a pair of qubits can be in any quantum superposition of 4 states,[11]:16 and three qubits in any superposition of 8 states. In general, a quantum computer with {\displaystyle n} qubits can be in an arbitrary superposition of up to {\displaystyle 2^{n}} different states simultaneously


    ..And, what would we do differently?

    I always thought it was some kind of little appetizers, a cereal, or maybe even an STD.

    Good evening sir, care for a plate of cubits to go with your champagne?
    Hey mom, I need some more milk for my bowl of cubits.
    I'm sorry young lady, the vaginal swab we did shows you have an advanced case of cubits.

    But the dimensioning would be so much tighter.

    That or it would make internet pron 3d
