Ghostly Images and Qubits: A New Way to Visualize Quantum Superposition
Explore the mysteries of quantum computing!
I’ve always loved creating games
Whenever I learn a new programming language or framework, I often find myself trying to program a game as a first try at using the various features of the platform.
In the case of quantum computing, creating the beginnings of a game in order to learn the concepts is absolutely perfect.
Now, quantum computing has a range of topics and features to learn. These may include how qubits are made, how qubits are manipulated, the various gates, but the focus of this tutorial will be the all-powerful concept of superposition!
The incredible qubit
Superposition is one of the core features in programming quantum computers, since it allows a qubit to hold a value of both 0 and 1 simultaneously.
When a qubit is in superposition it functions in a quantum state. This makes it powerful!
Exponential processing power
A classical computer with one bit can process one bit of information (0 or 1). By contrast, a quantum computer with one qubit can…
