greswd said:what about on/off currents?
Quantum computers will use different mechanisms, right. There is no quantum computer processor yet.greswd said:Though, I've heard that binary in newfangled quantum computers corresponds to excited and de-excited states of atoms.

Current is problematic to control (it would always depend on sender AND receiver of data).
berkeman said:No, not in typical digital logic circuits. Voltage levels are used to encode the binary data.
Is that more than an announcement?greswd said:what about the one from D-Wave?
In all.the sort of digital logic circuits found in most PCs?
Well, current can correspond to data in analog circuits.what sort of circuits use current?
Binary data is a type of data that consists of only two possible values: 0 and 1. It is the fundamental data form used by computers to represent and process information.
Binary data is stored in a computer processor using a series of on and off electrical signals, which are represented as 0s and 1s. These signals are organized into binary code, with each code representing a different character or instruction.
The physical form of binary data in a computer processor is a series of tiny electrical switches called transistors. Each transistor has two states, on and off, which correspond to the binary values of 1 and 0.
A computer processor interprets binary data by following a set of instructions, known as machine code, which tells it how to process and manipulate the data. These instructions are represented by different combinations of 0s and 1s.
Binary data is stored in computer memory as a series of bits, which are the smallest units of data in a computer. These bits are organized into bytes, which can hold 8 bits of data, and are then used to represent larger units of information, such as characters or numbers.
