Quantum Computing & Tech ⚛️ on Instagram: "This is not CGI. It’s a single atom. Captured by physicist David Nadlinger, this image shows one strontium atom suspended between two electrodes, held in place by electromagnetic fields inside a vacuum chamber. When blasted with precision lasers, the atom absorbs and re-emits light so strongly that it becomes visible to the naked eye. A fundamental building block of reality, isolated and glowing.

Quantum Computing & Tech ⚛️ on Instagram: "Quantum computers aren’t just faster. They compute in a fundamentally different way that breaks the rules of classical computing. 🔮⚛️ THE SECRET: QUBITS Classical computers use bits: 0 or 1. One state at a time. Quantum computers use qubits: 0, 1, or BOTH simultaneously through superposition. THE SPEED DIFFERENCE: Classical computer with 3 bits: Can represent 1 combination at a time (000, 001, 010, etc.) Must check each combination sequentially Quantum
