Qubits differ from classical bits, which are coded as only 0 or 1. A qubit can be a combination of both 0 and 1 simultaneously. One way to think of it is as a coin spinning between a 0 and a 1 axis.

A team of scientists has used a quantum processor to create an exotic new state of matter, capturing the strange motion of quantum particles in real time.

AI focuses on learning patterns from data to make decisions; quantum computing focuses on raw computational power for complex problems like molecular simulation and code-breaking.
