How do impulse on/off convert to 1/0 numbers in computers?

It gives me thinky pain.

There's a cream for that.

The next frontier is quantum computing in which states are superposed and entangled with the other states. It gives me thinky pain.

But when they finally give you the tools to use, you're gonna come up with some wicked awesome shit and we're here for it.

'Thinky pain' reminds me of the quote often attributed to Richard Feynman: "If you think you understand quantum mechanics, you don't understand quantum mechanics."

I think the OP wants to know physically how the 0 or 1 is stored. I’ll bite.
Assume 0 is reading 0 volts and 1 is reading some supply voltage like 1.8V. A basic circuit that can store this information while power is on is called a flip flop. It consists of CMOS transistors that can be in one one of two states. Assume you could measure the output of this flip flop and you’d read 0V or 1.8V which corresponds to a 0 or 1.

Take a course in assembler - will be quite useless practically,

Hey, nothing gets us to the point of crashing a program or computer faster than assembly language!
