    Again, not an expert, but as far as I know the data exists as some value between 0 and 1 (a float, basically). You just can’t tell what it is precisely.

    You can control them by blasting them with radio waves. Then, when you’re done giving them operations in this manner, you shine light on them and if they fluoresce, it’s a 1, if not, it’s a 0.

    The probability of it being a 1 is dependent on how big the float between 0 and 1 was (so, 0.8 has an 80% chance of being a 1 and a 20% chance of being a 0).

    I could be horribly wrong, this is just what I picked up from some baby’s first quantum computer explanations I stumbled across.
