What is a qubit?
A qubit, or quantum bit, is the basic unit of information used to encode data in quantum computing. It can be best understood as the quantum equivalent of the traditional bit used by classical computers to encode information in binary.
The term “qubit” is attributed to American theoretical physicist Benjamin Schumacher. Qubits are generally, although not exclusively, created by manipulating and measuring quantum particles (the smallest known building blocks of the physical universe), such as photons, electrons, trapped ions, superconducting circuits and atoms.
Enabled by the unique properties of quantum mechanics, quantum computers use qubits to store more data than traditional bits and vastly improve cryptographic systems. They can also perform advanced computations that would take thousands of years—or even be impossible—for classical supercomputers to complete.
Powered by qubits, quantum computers might soon prove pivotal in addressing many of humanity’s greatest challenges, including cancer and other medical research, climate change, machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI).

If the stipulations of a 2025 law proceed according to plan, Idaho will switch to using firing squads as its primary method of performing executions by July 1 of this year. Governor Brad Little (R) signed HB 37 into law in March 2025, cementing executions by firing squad as a default over other methods such as lethal injection. While Idaho first legalized firing squads in 2023, when Governor Little signed HB 186, the method was only authorized if the drugs for lethal injection were unavailable; HB 37 sidelined lethal injection as the alternative.
