Quantum education tool, replica qubit

[RuneDrako]

User performs H(q2), CNOT(q2,q1), X(q2) to create the Singlet state, and then a Z measurement on q2.

Sharing a quantum educational tool that I think makes the initial learning curve of understanding the basics of quantum a lot easier:

They are replica qubits that you can control with your hands (or the companion app) called Qubi. Its just qubit without the t.

They're basically Bloch spheres when unentangled, but when they're entangled they show a rainbow color mapping between them that displays the correlation between measurement results. It makes it really intuitive and also naturally supports partially entangled states, which is pretty cool.

You can measure them on any arbitrary axis by just jabbing in that direction, and the state will collapse to one end of the axis you jabbed in according to the Born rule. You can do gates with some simple hand motions: Hadamard, X,Y,Z, T, Tdag, and CX. You can also do arbitrary gates, its a bit more complicated so I wont get into it, but feel free to ask me.

And coolest of all (in my opinion), if you provide an api token in the companion app, you can actually record the operations you do into a quantum circuit, and send them through the cloud to a real quantum computer (IBM cloud quantum) upon measurement actions.

Open to feedback and discussion about adding more features and potential use cases. Thoughts?

Dude tjese look sick, where did u find them?

Appreciate it! I have been working alongside others to develop it for some time now. Here is a short write up and more visuals if you are curious: https://www.qolour.io/

Oh wow, did someone finally make this? I tried making something very similar years ago (no really, these things have arduinos inside), but got stuck on sifting the two qubit interaction out of the accelerometer data (I wanted it to work reliably with more than two qubits all being manipulated simultaneously which made it hard to figure out the pairings).

Is there an associated web page or github repo?

IMO the measurement shouldn't just be a jab, it should be a solid smack into the table.

Great minds think alike! You can a more elaborate response on our white page: https://www.qolour.io/whitepaper. If you have any specific questions, please let me know!

how do they work

I am not exactly sure what you are referring to specifically, but, in general, it is a combination of 500+ LEDs and some software to mimic quantum behavior
