In [[quantum computing]], a ''[[qubit]]'' is a unit of information analogous to a [[bit]] (binary digit) in [[classical computing]], but it is affected by [[quantum mechanical properties]] such as [[superposition (quantum mechanics)|superposition]] and [[quantum entanglement|entanglement]] which allow qubits to be in some ways more powerful than classical bits for some [[task (computing)|task]]s. Qubits are used in [[quantum circuit]]s and [[quantum algorithm]]s composed of [[quantum logic gates]] to solve [[computational problem]]s, where they are used for [[input/output]] and intermediate computations.
