Quantum Nuggets

Two small ways into quantum computing. Made in one weekend for the Qollab + IonQ Quantum Hackathon.

Quantum Beats Studio: two tracks, each a qubit with two sounds, and the four sounds the pair can land on

Quantum Beats Studio

Learn qubits by ear.

Each track is a qubit that plays one of two sounds. Swap, Shuffle, Turn and Sync the tracks, then Play to hear what a real Qiskit circuit measured.

  • Swap X
  • Shuffle H
  • Turn P(θ)
  • Sync CX

Lightwell: a trapped ion, its energy levels and its Bloch sphere

Lightwell

What a qubit is, starting from one atom and a laser.

Turn a trapped ytterbium ion with laser pulses, entangle two, then build Deutsch-Jozsa, Grover and the Fourier transform behind Shor.

  • One ion
  • Two ions
  • Circuits

The runs are real. When either app runs a circuit, it goes to a Qiskit simulator on our server, and each result says what produced it.
