Undergrad How does a quantum computer work?

Click For Summary
Quantum computers operate on principles distinct from traditional silicon chips and CMOS technology. Qubits, the fundamental units of quantum information, can be interconnected in various ways, but specifics about their interactions remain complex and often require extensive research. The discussion highlights the challenge of condensing quantum computing concepts into brief explanations, indicating that a deeper understanding necessitates further study. Participants suggest consulting external resources for foundational knowledge on qubit interconnectivity and operation. Overall, the thread emphasizes the complexity of quantum computing and the need for thorough exploration of the topic.

What is the principle of operation of a quantum computer on a silicon chip? What are a qubits and how they connected and interacted between themselves? How does CMOS technology work in a quantum computer?

Quantum computers are not based on silicon chips and CMOS technology.

how are qubits interconnected? What are they made of?
 
Have you done any research on this at all? You're pretty much asking us to write a book on quantum computing.

I can’t find information about how the qubits are interconnected, or they are isolated from each other, do the qubits interact with each other using an electrostatic field?

Really?

It's in the very first link in Demystifier's list of links.

If we tell you where to find the answer, and you don't look,what else can we do?

This is much too broad; as @Vanadium 50 says, you are basically asking us to write a book on quantum computing.

@Demystifier pointed you to a good starting point for learning about quantum computing. That's sufficient for this thread.
