Superposition & Entanglement: A Quick Quantum Guide
The Quantum Pocket Guide was created to make basic quantum phenomena—such as superposition and entanglement—easier to understand through engaging visual explanations.
The guide is designed to support teachers and schools in presenting these concepts in a fun, accessible, and scientifically accurate way, but also for anyone wanting to better understand basic quantum phenomena.
About the origin of „The Little Quantum Pocket Guide“
This guide is the result of a close collaboration between the MCQST Office and the research group of Prof. Steffen Glaser (Technical University of Munich). The visual representations are based on a one-to-one mapping of arbitrary quantum states onto colored spheres, dubbed „qubit beads“ and „entanglement beads“. Tangible models offer a remarkably simple and engaging approach to quantum mechanics, blending graphical representation with mathematical precision.
Dennis Huber, member of Prof. Glaser‘s research group, co-authored „The Little Quantum Pocket Guide“ and in particular developed the unique and powerful QuBeads app. This is an easy to use, highly interactive, and versatile tool for teaching and research in quantum information theory. The QuBeads app is based on the SpinDrops-App (originally created by Niklas Glaser, Michael Tesch, and Steffen Glaser) that was geared towards the visualization of the dynamics of spin ensembles in magnetic resonance spectroscopy and imaging ( www.spindrops.org).
