This property in quantum physics is called Superposition.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"a-level-deeper-lets-first-understand-what-a-qubit-means\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A LEVEL DEEPER: Let\u2019s first understand what a qubit means<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Qubits are similar to bits that we are familiar with in conventional computers, with the only difference being it can embody both the states 0 and 1 at the same time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 id=\"weird\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Weird?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>No problem. It\u2019s normal to find it difficult to imagine quantum behaviors at a human scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To understand qubits much better, let us take an example of a sphere. Bits 1 &amp; 0 in conventional computers could be the sphere spinning in one direction at any given point of time\u200a\u2014\u200asay 1 when the direction is up, 0 when the direction is down. Whereas, a qubit could be the sphere spinning in all possible directions at once. Its very difficult to imagine this at a human scale, but this is how objects behave at a quantum scale (sub-atomic level), when they\u2019re unobserved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"how-can-quantum-computers-solve-problems-were-not-able-to-solve-today\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">How can quantum computers solve problems we\u2019re not able to solve&nbsp;today?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/codewavetechnologies\/image\/upload\/q_auto:eco\/v1538371088\/1_jmWpMazwb_zMdfsAusl_VA-min.png\" alt=\"Quantum Computer vs Normal Computer\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Quantum computers can solve problems like below which a traditional computer would take days to compute:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Finding the most optimal route among a million possible paths to move from point A to B (a traditional computer may take a long time to run these computations)<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Finding a new medicinal compound, from a million possible molecular combinations<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>It also paves way for groundbreaking researches in various fields like physics, gaming etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"okay-now-whats-with-this-atomic-data-storage-does-it-have-anything-to-do-with-quantum-computing\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Okay, now what\u2019s with this atomic data storage?

This would completely wipe out the necessity of owning a computer or any electronic gadget for that matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, you could go to a tree and stand next to it to see its information in a digitized format.
