How to Make a Quantum Bit

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Classic computers use binary bits, which are either a 0 or a 1, while quantum computers use qubits, which are both a 0 and a 1 simultaneously. Teach your class how a qubit is made and how it is controlled using an informative video as part of a larger playlist. They learn how to read and write information on it and how both an electron and the nucleus of phosphorus can be used as qubits.
