M1231: Quantum computing in color in Splash Spring 2024 (Apr. 21, 2024)
This class will introduce students to quantum information concepts using analogies to color as a means to communicate the abstract ideas. We will start with basic definitions of a quantum bit, superposition, and the Bloch sphere. This material will be introduced by visual analogy with points on the HSL color solid. We will also briefly address entanglement. By the end of the class, I want students to be able to identify important single-qubit states by their mathematical definition and color association, and interpret quantum circuit diagrams.
