Abstract
This article delves into the fundamental aspects of qubits in quantum computation, emphasizing their coordination, mathematical representation through the Bloch Sphere, and the unique advantages and challenges of superconducting, trapped ion, and photonic qubits. It highlights the transformative potential of quantum algorithms in solving complex problems in cryptography and information security, while addressing key sources of quantum errors such as decoherence and quantum noise. The study discusses advanced error correction methods and underscores the necessity of improving qubit coherence, stability, scalability, and integration for the practical application and commercialization of quantum computers. Ongoing research and collaboration are deemed essential for overcoming technical challenges and unlocking the full potential of quantum computation across various industries.
