well you can continue with your google search for average joe stuff...
ill continue programming
have fun with your studies, hope you can catch up
You're quite rude, aren't you? I mean consistently, not just as a one-off. I'm not rising to it, though :p
I freely admit I'm not an expert in quantum computing, but I do have a background in theoretical physics, with a sizeable chunk of that being QM, so I have a decent grasp of the quantum side.

by the way google quantum computers quarternary
I don't have to... now you're confusing qubits with qudits. This all started with you saying that qubits have 4 states, which they don't!

qbits have 3 states
qubits actually have 4 states

binary has 2 states
0-1

qubit is base 4 or otherwise known as quarternary logic (as oppose to binary logic)
0  1
  X
2  3



oh and bit is about single object/symbol
you can have binary(2) bit
quarternary(4) bit
hexidecimal(16) bit
This is getting a bit absurd now. Hexadecimal is not 16 bit, it's 4 bit. Why? 24, that's why: 2, 4, 8, 16. You don't need 16 binary digits to encode a hexadecimal. Hex '1' is 0001 in binary. Hex 'F' is 1111.
