In quantum computing, a qubit or quantum bit (sometimes qbit) is the basic unit of quantum information: J
J – Joule
The joule (/dʒaʊl, dʒuːl/ jowl, jool; symbol: J) is a derived unit of energy in the International System of Units. It is equal to the energy transferred to (or work done on) an object when a force of one newton acts on that object in the direction of the force’s motion through a distance of one metre (1 newton metre or N⋅m). It is also the energy dissipated as heat when an electric current of one ampere passes through a resistance of one ohm for one second. It is named after the English physicist James Prescott Joule (1818–1889).
