The quantum becomes meaningful at the atomic and sub-atomic levels of matter, and its behaviors are described by quantum physics . One of the interesting things about atoms is that their constituent particles have a characteristic called spin . Scientists say that atoms' spins are up or down , a binary construction that makes it convenient to associate an up spin with a digital one , and a down spin with a digital zero . Differently spinning atoms can be engineered to join into molecules that contain quantum bits, or qubits. In quantum computing, qubits do the work of processing and storage that chips and hard drives do in digital computing.
