Uh.... are you thinking of Q*bert?

Eliminating the Confusion
As per the requests on the talk page, I dove in and tried to make the Qubit page a little more readable. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated, as this is my first time doing any more than a minor edit on a page.--Nate 20:49, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
ummmm....huh?
So I was trying to learn a little bit more about quantum cryptography and I found this article to be kinda confusing. would someone run a copyedit? TitaniumDreads 10:11, 7 August 2005 (UTC)
- Agreed. This article is confusing and does not adequately explain the concept of a Qubit to the average layman (ie, someone without a degree in Quantum Physics and/or Computer Science). I came here to learn how a Qubit differs from a Bit. This article was not helpful. If someone could re-organize and re-write most of what's here, this article could become vastly more accessible to readers. 66.17.118.207 16:44, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
Schumacher compression
Schumacher undoubtedly discovered Shumacher compression and is generally accepted as having introduced the term qubit in the 1995 Phys Rev paper Quantum Coding, but historically it is questionable whether one can say he discovered how to interpret states as information. I suspect that something like this may have been known to Feynman. Anyway I'm not a historian of science, but I would appreciate if somebody could look into this. CSTAR 18:18, 20 Jun 2004 (UTC)
I'm stumped
What's a phit? Googling doesn't suggest anything relevant.CSTAR 03:58, 12 Sep 2004 (UTC)
Delete Phit
Please put in a wikilink or some other link to Phit, otherwise we should delete it. No one I have talked to has ever heard of this concept in relation to quantum computing.CSTAR 18:07, 14 Sep 2004 (UTC)
Qudit
Isn't a digit of quantum information called qudigit?
- No. The terminology has now settled on qudit.--CSTAR 22:39, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Probability of Qudit States
I have heard of Schrodigner's cat in a box. So that cat is a qudit ... right? But I think physicists are confusing everybody. Can't imagine how a cat to be the superposition of two cats. The more I mull over this the more confused I am. Help!!!! Feb 2006 (HYK, Singapore)
Wha...?
If the limits in the article are the only ones there are, then you could no the probability amplitude of p without knowing the probability amplitude of not-p. That doesn't make sense.
