Qubits are strange objects used to store information in quantum computing, manipulated through logic gates. While classical bits can be in a state of zero or one, qubits can exist in a superposition of both states. Quantum logic gates produce unique effects beyond classical counterparts, revealing the true nature of qubits. The H gate can create superpositions, where a qubit is equally likely to be measured as zero or one. Understanding this superposition concept enhances the manipulation and measurement of qubits in quantum computing.
