Quantum bit
Artificial intelligence, powered by quantum computing, is all down to 0s and 1s. A classical bit can be a 0 or a 1. A qubit can be a 0, or a 1, or both at the same time. 2 qubits can explore 4 states: 00, 01, 10, 11. A 50-qubit quantum computer can explore 1.125 quadrillion states – at once.
