Qubits and information in the quantum world

In quantum computing, the fundamental unit of information is a qubit, which is physically encoded in a two-level quantum system. These two levels are known as the ‘computational basis states’, and we usually write them as ∣0⟩ and ∣1⟩. These correspond directly to the 0 and 1 states of a classical bit.

However, unlike a classical bit that can only be in one state at a time (either 0 or 1), a qubit can be in a state that is in a linear superposition of basis states. This is unique to quantum computing and doesn’t have an equivalent in classical computing. A general qubit state can therefore be described as |ψ⟩= α1∣0⟩ + α2∣1⟩, which is a linear superposition of ∣0⟩ and ∣1⟩ with complex amplitudes α1 and α2.

The state of a qubit in a superposition remains in this state as long as the qubit is not measured or disturbed. However, as soon as a measurement is made, the qubit settles into one of its basis states, either ∣0⟩ or ∣1⟩, and the superposition is destroyed. This process is known as ‘collapse’, and it’s a fundamental feature of measurement in quantum mechanics. If we measure the qubit, we obtain the ∣0⟩ state with probability |α1|2  and the ∣1⟩ state with probability |α2|2 , where the sum of both needs always equal to one (|α1|2  + |α2|2 = 1) [2].

Types of Qubits

Currently, there are a few qubit implementations that look quite promising for the realization of a quantum computer. The most prominent examples are superconducting qubits, ion traps and spin qubits and photons.

1. Spin: Spin-based qubits use the spin of charge carriers, such as electrons, confined in a semiconductor material as the basis for information storage. The spin degree of freedom of that electron provides a natural two-level system that is insensitive to electric fields, leading to relatively long quantum coherence times. The first spin qubit quantum computer was proposed by Daniel Loss and David P. DiVincenzo in 1997 [3]. Intel has raised efforts to develop quantum computers based on silicon spin qubits in recent years [4].

2. Trapped Atoms and Ions: In trapped-ion quantum computing, ions are confined and suspended in free space using electromagnetic fields. Qubits are defined by two distinct energy states of the ions, and quantum information can be transferred through the collective quantized motion of the ions in a shared trap. The fundamental operations of a quantum computer have been demonstrated experimentally with high accuracy in trapped-ion systems [5,6].

Neutral atoms, on the contrary, are trapped by highly focused laser beams, so-called optical-tweezers. Qubits are encoded in distinct electronic energy states of the atoms, and their quantum state may be manipulated via laser pulses. As for breakthroughs, researchers at ETH Zurich have managed to trap ions using static electric and magnetic fields and perform quantum operations on them. This new ion trap could be used to realize quantum computers with far more quantum bits than have been possible up to now [7]. On the neutral atoms side, a team of researchers at Harvard created the first programmable, logical quantum processor, capable of encoding up to 48 logical qubits and executing hundreds of logical gate operations [8].

3. Photons: Photons, the quantum particles of light, can serve as qubits, too. They are natural candidates for quantum communication due to their favorable properties in speed, coherence, and low propagation loss. This makes them ideal for transmitting quantum information over long distances. Moreover, photons offer various degrees of freedom where quantum information can be encoded. For example, two distinct propagation paths, or the polarisation degree of freedom, which is the orientation of the photon’s electric field, may serve as a two-level system to encode and manipulate a qubit [9].

4. Superconducting Circuits: Superconducting circuits are among the leading physical implementations of qubits. They are tiny circuits made out of superconducting materials that can carry an electric current without resistance when cooled to very low temperatures. These circuits can behave like artificial atoms, absorbing and emitting energy at specific frequencies, which makes them suitable for use as qubits [10].


In a superconducting circuit, the quantum state of the circuit (the qubits) can be controlled using microwave pulses. These pulses can manipulate the qubit into a superposition of states, flip its state, or entangle it with other qubits. This is how quantum operations, or gates, are performed in a superconducting quantum computer. Companies like IBM, Google, and Rigetti are using superconducting circuits to build their quantum computers. These companies have already built quantum processors with hundreds to thousands of qubits and are working on scaling up their technology to create larger, more powerful quantum computers [11].

Visualization of Qubits

Qubit states can be visualized in different ways. Below are the most common ones.

To try these visualizations, qiskit offers great tools for visualizing qubits. You can use the plot_bloch_vector function for Bloch Sphere visualization and the plot_state_qsphere function for Q-Sphere visualization. These functions provide an interactive and intuitive way to understand the state of your qubits.

A four-level integration approach: QMware’s differentiator in quantum integration

QMware’s four-level integration aims at merging classical HPC and quantum hardware at the deepest possible level. This way, QMware intends to enable the next evolution of Q-HPC systems, enhancing overall performance and unlocking the full potential of quantum computing for enterprise data centers. Currently, QMware is integrating up to Level-3 with partners such as QuEra Quantum Computing.

Level 1 Web Integration

Our entry-level integration allows traditional computing systems to connect with quantum processors via a web SDK provided by the specific quantum hardware vendor.

Level 2 SDK Integration

Enhancing Level 1, Level 2 provides a unified interface to QPUs via QMware’s  Software Development Kit <basiq>. This way, quantum software engineers can apply the same <basiq> API call to access all different kinds of QPUs.

Level 3 Co-Location

At level 3, QMware’s hybrid node is located in the same data center as the quantum computer. This advanced integration utilizes high-speed network interfaces for direct QPU connections, enabling direct and high-speed access between classical and quantum processors, a feature unique to QMware’s architecture. This increases the transmission speed of the data and reduces latency. This is especially important for repetitive calculations using a small number of qubits (up to 30).

Level 4 Hardware Interface

At the forefront of integration, this level replaces generic interfaces with QPU-specific hard- and software components, optimizing algorithmic performance, mitigating and fostering future advancements in quantum operations per second.

The practical value of deep integration

While Level 1 integration offers easy access to different QPUs, Level 2 integration translates to an enhancement in development speed-up as the quantum software engineer can leverage one unified API to execute applications on QPUs of different vendors. While Level 3 already increases the transmission speed of the data and reduces latency, with Level 4 we expect even more progress in this regard and, at the same time, open the opportunity to distribute processing between classical and quantum computing for optimally balanced workloads.
