Original: Quantum Computing Without the PhD: A Developer’s Guide (Part 2)
Short summary
Part 2 of a developer-oriented quantum computing series explains the Bloch Sphere as a globe for visualizing qubit states, the Hadamard gate as a rotation operator, and how Quantum Key Distribution (BB84) uses these concepts for secure communication. Includes Python code using the author's open-source qkdpy library to simulate quantum state preparation.
- •Bloch Sphere visualized as a globe: North Pole = 0, South Pole = 1, equator = superposition
- •Hadamard Gate rotates qubit states, enabling QKD security protocols
- •qkdpy library simulates BB84 protocol for quantum key distribution in Python
