The cubit is equal to the distance from the elbow to the tip of the middle finger, approximately 43-56 cm or 17-22 in.

Now a qubit is a subatomic particle that performs computation. More elaborately, an elementary particle such as an electron or photon that can store data and perform computational tasks within a quantum computer's processor and memory.

Anyway, the coolest thing about quantum computers imho is that in theory 1 could crack any and all current encryption schemes ridiculously fast, rendering them all useless. Of course quantum computers also bring the possibility of quantum encryption which last I read could be theoretically unbreakable.]]>Feb 8th 2007 8:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/08/quantum-computer-to-debut-next-tuesday/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/08/quantum-computer-to-debut-next-tuesday/Feb 8th 2007 8:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/08/quantum-computer-to-debut-next-tuesday/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/08/quantum-computer-to-debut-next-tuesday/Feb 8th 2007 8:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/08/quantum-computer-to-debut-next-tuesday/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/08/quantum-computer-to-debut-next-tuesday/

engagdet, engagdet...c'mon...everybody knows that more qubits means more trouble for Ugg and Coily...do your research!
