Mark Elo of Tabor Electronics

Research into Quantum Computers is moving at a frantic pace, and their use for cryptanalysis has caught the attention of many national government and military agencies who are eager to fund further research. A  quantum computer differs from computers we use today as it is a device for computation that makes direct use of quantum mechanical phenomena, referred to as superposition and entanglement, that are used to perform operations on data. In a quantum, computer information is stored as qubits (quantum bits) as opposed to the bits that we use in conventional computers. In this lecture, we will examine quantum computing in terms of understanding what a Qbit is, how to make a Qubit, and how to control and analyze a qubit to perform some basic data manipulation.
