Which mechanism enables quantum computing applications utilizing superconducting qubits?

💡 Explanation

The Josephson effect creates correlated electron pairs tunneling through a barrier because their phase coherence allows them to maintain quantum states. Therefore, coherence enables superposition and entanglement necessary for qubit operations, rather than the bulk effects represented by alternative answers.
