Qubit, An Intuition #1 — First Baby Steps in Exploring the Quantum World

The beauty of Quantum Mechanics for Quantum Computation, featuring IBM Quantum

Andi Sama — CIO, Sinergi Wahana Gemilang with Cahyati S. Sangaji

TL;DR; 
- The intuition of a quantum bit (qubit) as a computing unit in a Quantum computer, in comparison to a binary digit (bit) in a Classical computer.
- Bra-ket notation, bloch sphere, hybrid Classical-Quantum.
- The source code (in Python) for generating illustrated qubit state transitions is available on github.
- This is the first article in the "Qubit, An Intuition" series. Upcoming articles (towards the end of 2021) will discuss "Inner Product, Outer Product, and Tensor Product", "Quantum Measurement", "Unitary Matrices", "Quantum Circuit and Reversible Transformation", as well as "Quantum Algorithms."

Five years ago — a new, first in the world Quantum computer services announced for public access, accessible through the Cloud. Thanks to IBM for the generosity to share the future of the computing revolution in the 21st century. Physicists, scientists, and the general public, including myself with no formal education…
