How does a quantum computer work?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the operational principles of quantum computers, specifically regarding qubits and their interconnections. Participants clarify that quantum computers are not primarily based on silicon chips or CMOS technology. The conversation emphasizes the complexity of the topic, suggesting that a comprehensive understanding requires extensive research. Key resources, including Wikipedia's article on quantum computing, are recommended for foundational knowledge.

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.
