Oh dear, the note B# DOES exist. It is not used very much, because it is the sharpest note on the circle of 5ths before you get to the double-sharps. But, it is the leading tone (the seventh degree) in the key of C# Major, whose notes are C#, D#, E#, F#, G#, A#, B#, C# (like C Major, only everything has a sharp) and it is the raised seventh degree of the C# harmonic and melodic minor scales. That's still simple diatonicism. It is also a frequent chromatic alteration in the sharper keys (as a raised tonic in B Major, for instance, in the progression B - B#° - C#m - F7).
On the piano keyboard it is a white note, so many people just call the note C, however, it depends on what key the music is written in, or the context in which it is used to know what to properly call the note.
Some people say it doesn't exist, but they just don't know enough about musical theory. In twelve tone equal temperament they sound the same, but in just temperaments those two notes (C and B#) would actually be tuned differently.
What else can I help you with?
Is the A note a B sharp?
No, the A is not the same as B sharp. B sharp would be the C note since there are no music notes between B and C. The C note would only be called a "B sharp" if C sharp is used in a key, since proper music note naming only allows for one note of each base name ("accidental" notes excluded). So rather than have two types of C notes, you would have a type of B note and a type of C note.

Does B sharp exist in music theory?
Yes, B sharp does exist in music theory. It is the enharmonic equivalent of C natural, meaning that they are the same pitch but spelled differently.
What is the difference in sound between playing a sharp and a B flat on a musical instrument?
The difference in sound between playing a sharp and a B flat on a musical instrument is that a sharp note is slightly higher in pitch than a B flat note.
What is the note B sharp on the piano and how does it differ from other notes in terms of pitch and notation?
The note B sharp on the piano is the same key as C natural. It is written as B in notation. B sharp is higher in pitch than B natural but is played on the same key as C natural. This is because in music theory, B sharp is used to indicate a note that is one half step higher than B natural.
Which note is located a half step above A sharp?
B (B natural).
