What is Qubic?
In short: Qubic began life as as an initalism-turned-acronym, QBC, which stands for quorum-based computation.
Specifically, Qubic is a protocol that specifies IOTA’s solution for quorum-based computations, including such constructs as oracle machines, outsourced computations, and smart contracts. Qubic provides general-purpose, cloud- or fog-based, permissionless, multiprocessing capabilities on the Tangle. In the long term, Qubic will allow people to leverage world-wide unused computing capacity for a myriad of computational needs, all while helping to secure the IOTA Tangle: an IOTA-based world supercomputer...

The Implications for Qubic are amazing. I can't wait to see it actually up and working.
