Visualizing Quantum Computation in TowardsdataScience
From Zero to Understand What the Hack is Happening!
Alessandro Berti
Hi there! I’m a Ph.D. student at University of Pisa and my research topic is Quantum Computing!
My First Approach to Quantum Computing
I have to be honest, the very first approach to Quantum Computing is struggling, especially for those who come from a CS degree ( just like me :) ). There is a little to which you can hang on based on your classical computer scientist experience.
One problem in quantum computation is for sure a visualization problem.
Can you understand what the following quantum circuit does?

If you are a beginner, probably no. I had the same problem too!
I do believe that this way of representing the code of a quantum algorithm in quantum circuits misses “a dimension”. This kind of representation tricked me. It was implicitly forcing me to reason in a 2D dimension while the reality was in 3D, so I was unable to visualize it properly. ... "
