Qubits are the building blocks of Quantum Computing. How are qubits different from normal binary bits?
Qubits can change their values more quickly than binary bits

What feature of quantum computing is this describing?
"any two (or more) quantum states can be added together and the result will be another valid quantum state; and conversely, that every quantum state can be represented as a sum of two or more other distinct states."
Entanglement
Superposition
Supremacy
Annealing
What feature of Quantum Computing is this:
"a physical phenomenon that occurs when pairs or groups of Qubits are generated, interact, or share spatial proximity in ways such that the quantum state of each Qubit cannot be described independently of the state of the others."
