Qubes OS
Qubes OS is a free, security-focused desktop operating system based on Fedora that isolates digital activities in separate lightweight virtual machines under the Xen hypervisor, so compromising one qube does not expose the others.
QUBIC
QUBIC, the Q&U Bolometric Interferometer for Cosmology, is a ground-based experiment measuring CMB polarization to detect B-modes from inflationary gravitational waves, observing from about 4,900 meters in Salta, Argentina.
QubicaAMF Bowling World Cup
The QubicaAMF Bowling World Cup, also called the AMF World Cup, is an annual international tenpin bowling singles tournament first held in Dublin in 1965.
Qubilah Shabazz
Qubilah Shabazz (born 1960), second daughter of Malcolm X and Betty Shabazz, was indicted in 1995 for plotting to kill Louis Farrakhan via FBI informant Michael Fitzpatrick; charges were settled without trial in 1995.
Qubit
A qubit, or quantum bit, is the basic unit of quantum information: a two-level quantum system that, unlike a classical bit, can exist in a superposition of states.
Qubit reset
Qubit reset is a quantum computing operation that returns a qubit to a known state, typically |0⟩, discarding prior superposition or entanglement, enabling qubit reuse and active error correction.
Qubitization and quantum signal processing
Qubitization and quantum signal processing are linked quantum computing techniques, developed by Guang Hao Low and Isaac Chuang, that evaluate functions of a Hamiltonian with optimal query complexity.
Qubo
Qubo was an American children's TV brand launched September 2006 by ION Media, NBC Universal, Scholastic, Classic Media, and Corus, with blocks on NBC, Telemundo, and Ion and a 24-hour digital channel from January 2007; Scripps shut it down February 28, 2021.

Qudama ibn Ja'far
Qudama ibn Ja'far (قدامة بن جعفر) was an Abbasid secretary, literary critic, and geographer who died in 948, known for Naqd al-shi'r and Kitab al-Kharaj.
Qudit and continuous-variable entanglement
Qudit and continuous-variable entanglement extends quantum entanglement beyond two-level qubits. Qudits use d levels, continuous-variable systems use observables like light's quadratures, and both can carry more entanglement than qubits.
Qudit error correction
Qudit error correction protects quantum information stored in qudits, quantum systems with more than two levels, aiming to reduce the physical components needed for fault-tolerant quantum computing.
