Part 2/8:
This chandelier acts as a supercharged refrigerator, utilizing a special mixture of liquefied helium to cool the quantum chip to near absolute zero—the coldest temperature theoretically possible. At these frigid temperatures, the superconducting circuits can exhibit quantum properties, allowing them to solve computational problems that classical computers can't handle.
Binary vs. Qubits: The Core of Quantum Mechanics
Traditional computers operate on binary logic, where transistors are either in an "on" (1) or "off" (0) state. This rigid binary structure allows classical computers to excel in their reliability but limits their efficiency in solving complex problems—particularly those resembling finding a needle in a haystack.
