Which of the following is a possible way to weigh “0” and “1” relative to each other in a qubit?

The “0” and “1” states are equally probable

The “0” state is twice as likely as the “1” state

The “0” state is one-third as likely as the “1” state

All of the above

None of the above

How can a diamond be used as a qubit?

Any electron in a diamond can be used for a qubit, because they all have two spin states

The carbon atoms in a diamond can be used for qubits, because they are all identical

A defect in the diamond called a nitrogen-vacancy defect can be used for a qubit, because nitrogen has more computational power

A defect in the diamond called a nitrogen-vacancy defect can be used for a qubit, because it can capture an electron whose quantum spin state is easy to read using lasers

How can an NV center qubit be used as a quantum sensor?

Its spin states are sensitive enough that it can detect even the smallest changes in its environment

It beeps when it senses something

It perceives alternate realities

All of the above

None of the above

Which of the following is true?

All qubits use an NV center

All qubits use two spin states as their “0” and “1”

All qubits use two quantum states as their “0” and “1”

All qubits are measured with lasers

Why is it important to keep a qubit from decohering?

It loses its quantum information when it decoheres

It loses its spin when it decoheres

It loses its electron when it decoheres
