Abstract:
Recently, quantum technologies have been experiencing a remarkable growth. The scientific community faces the problem of development of universal e-learning systems, taking into account most of the difficulties related to the entry of an untrained person into the field of quantum technologies, and allowing him to develop himself up to the professional level. It appears to us that originally Australian startup Q-CTRL, being a pioneer of quantum infrastructure software to make quantum technologies useful and previous year winner of the Digital Courseware Solution of the Year Award by EdTech Breakthrough for its quantum computing workforce development educational platform, has designed currently the most successful e-learning educational environment Black Opal. In this work we are willing to imaginatively explore and, if possible, develop formats of introduction of both the qubit conception and basic quantum operations on it in Black Opal. Operations $X$, $Y$, $Z$ were taken as an example. The rationale of this paper was to present the Black Opal graphical representation of the set of operations $X$, $Y$, $Z$ in the form, which is most accessible for readers who are completely unaware of the subject. On this way, we considered it relevant to offer a description of the corresponding operations in three formats at once: mathematical, graphical and textual. It is assumed that this form of material presentation will allow to quickly master the material to the largest possible audience, stimulating, eventually, the emergence of a cluster of professionals in the field of quantum technologies.
Keywords:quantum computing, qubit, Black Opal system, quantum single-qubit operations.
