So in this project I'll be looking at superposition, entanglement, and measurement.
The goal here is to write a 2-qubit that creates a Bell pair. (I don't really know what that is... yet.) Okay, so I found the best analogy to explain it.
Explanation: Take 2 coins. Flip them. They both land on the same side. The twist is we don't know which side it is until we look at it. So then when we look at one, the other immediately shows the same... Even IF it's on the other side of the planet.
This is to say that it's a magic link between to pieces. With this information we can see that Bell pairs are used in Quantum teleportation, quantum cryptography, and testing quantum mechanics.
So say for example I want to simulate an avionics panel or EFIS, I would need to think of it as a Bell pair like two synced sensors. I can change one, and the other updates instantly without a wire.
So to begin this project I need to install Python and quantum libraries on my XPS with i7.
pip install qiskit cirq pennylane matplotlib
Doing this will give me 3 really good toolkits: Qiskit (IBM's SDK), Cirq(Google's SDK for clean circuit structure), and PennyLane (for quantum machine learning and hybrid classical/quantum).
Let's get started with the project.
I found my first error: a version of qiskit could not be found. Or rather, couldn't fins a version that satisfies the requirement qiskit. So this is what I did:
I'm sooooo happy It works! And mind you, I'm doing this using wsl-d Debian on my laptop so all is good in the world :D
