Low Noise Amplifiers in Quantum Computing
Why do we use Low Noise Amplifiers in Quantum Computing?
In the extremely simplified version of the realm of Quantum Computing, the ultimate goal is to be able to isolate and “read” Qubits, which are the Quantum equivalent of Bits in traditional data processing. Whereas standard data streams ultimately consist of bits that each have one of two values (either 1 or 0), a single Qubit has the tremendous advantage of representing up to FIVE values.
