class Qubit:
    """
    This class describes qubits. Qubits are created by supplying the identifier string.

    Attributes
    ----------
    identifier : str
        A string to identify the Qubit.

    Examples
    --------

    We create a Qubit and add it to a :ref:`QuantumCircuit`:

    >>> from qrisp import QuantumCircuit, Qubit
    >>> qb = Qubit("alphonse")
    >>> qc = QuantumCircuit()
    >>> qc.add_qubit(qb)
    >>> qc.x(qb)
    >>> print(qc)
