<strong>Introduction</strong><br />
• The common characteristic of any digital<br />
computer is that it s<strong>to</strong>res bits<br />
• Bits represent the state of some physical system<br />
• Electronic computers use voltage levels <strong>to</strong> represent<br />
bits<br />
• <strong>Quantum</strong> systems possess properties that allow<br />
the encoding of bits as physical states<br />
• Direction of spin of an electron<br />
• The direction of polarization of a pho<strong>to</strong>n<br />
• The energy level of an excited a<strong>to</strong>m<br />
