Are you saying that a qubit is stored as a 01001?
A qubit is not stored as a binary string like 01001. A qubit is a quantum bit that exists in a quantum superposition of states, typically represented as:
|ψ⟩ = α|0⟩ + β|1⟩
Where:
- α and β are complex numbers called probability amplitudes
- |α|² + |β|² = 1 (total probability must equal 1)
- |0⟩ and |1⟩ are the basis states (analogous to classical 0 and 1)
Unlike classical bits which must be either 0 or 1, a qubit can exist in both states simultaneously until measured.
When measured, the qubit "collapses" into either state 0 or 1 with probabilities determined by |α|² and |β|² respectively.
This quantum superposition property is one of the key features that gives quantum computers their unique capabilities compared to classical computers that use conventional binary bits.
