> Qubits represent 0 and 1 using quantum phenomenon like the nuclear spin direction of individual atoms.

Not trying to be that guy but this is so wrong/misleading, it hurts (and I'm not even a physicist!). Spin isn't a "direction" and atoms don't "spin" -- well, they might, but the quantum kind of spin has nothing to do with angular momentum.
