Basic Quantum Computing Tutorial

Welcome to the world of quantum computing! This tutorial will teach you the fundamentals of quantum computing using SuperQuantX. No prior quantum knowledge required - we'll build everything from the ground up.

🎯 What You'll Learn

By the end of this tutorial, you'll understand:

  • Quantum bits (qubits) and how they differ from classical bits
  • Quantum gates and how to manipulate quantum states
  • Quantum superposition and entanglement
  • Quantum measurement and probability
  • Basic quantum algorithms like Deutsch-Jozsa and Grover's

🚀 Prerequisites

  • Basic Python knowledge
  • High school mathematics (vectors, complex numbers helpful but not required)
  • SuperQuantX installed (pip install superquantx)

📚 Chapter 1: Classical vs Quantum Bits

Classical Bits

Classical computers use bits that are either 0 or 1:

# Classical bits
classical_bit_1 = 0
classical_bit_2 = 1
print(f"Classical bits: {classical_bit_1}, {classical_bit_2}")

Quantum Bits (Qubits)

Quantum computers use qubits that can be in superposition - both 0 and 1 simultaneously!

import superquantx as sqx
import numpy as np

# Create a quantum backend
backend = sqx.get_backend('simulator')

# Create a circuit with 1 qubit
circuit = backend.create_circuit(1)

# Initially, the qubit is in state |0⟩
print("Initial state: |0⟩ - definitely 0")

# Let's measure it
circuit.measure_all()
result = backend.run(circuit, shots=1000)
print(f"Measurements of |0⟩: {result.get_counts()}")

Expected output: All measurements give '0'.

Creating Superposition

The magic happens with the Hadamard gate (H gate):

# Create a new circuit
circuit = backend.create_circuit(1)

# Apply Hadamard gate to create superposition
circuit.h(0)  # H gate on qubit 0

# Measure the qubit
circuit.measure_all()

# Run many times to see the probability
result = backend.run(circuit, shots=1000)
print(f"Measurements after H gate: {result.get_counts()}")

Expected output: Roughly 50% '0' and 50% '1' - the qubit is in superposition!

What happened? The H gate put the qubit in state |+⟩ = (|0⟩ + |1⟩)/√2, which has equal probability of measuring 0 or 1.

📚 Chapter 2: Quantum Gates

Quantum gates are operations that manipulate qubits. Let's explore the basic gates:

Single-Qubit Gates

Pauli Gates

def demonstrate_pauli_gates():
    """Show the effects of X, Y, Z gates."""

    gates = {
        'X': lambda c, q: c.x(q),    # Bit flip: |0⟩↔|1⟩
        'Y': lambda c, q: c.y(q),    # Bit and phase flip
        'Z': lambda c, q: c.z(q),    # Phase flip: |1⟩→-|1⟩
    }

    for gate_name, gate_func in gates.items():
        print(f"\n--- Testing {gate_name} Gate ---")

        # Test on |0⟩
        circuit = backend.create_circuit(1)
        gate_func(circuit, 0)
        circuit.measure_all()

        result = backend.run(circuit, shots=1000)
        print(f"{gate_name}|0⟩ → {result.get_counts()}")

        # Test on |1⟩ (first apply X to get |1⟩)
        circuit = backend.create_circuit(1)
        circuit.x(0)  # Prepare |1⟩
        gate_func(circuit, 0)
        circuit.measure_all()

        result = backend.run(circuit, shots=1000)
        print(f"{gate_name}|1⟩ → {result.get_counts()}")

Rotation Gates

def demonstrate_rotation_gates():
    """Show rotation gates that create arbitrary superpositions."""

    import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

    angles = np.linspace(0, 2*np.pi, 8)
    probabilities = []

    for angle in angles:
        circuit = backend.create_circuit(1)

        # RY rotation creates cos(θ/2)|0⟩ + sin(θ/2)|1⟩
        circuit.ry(angle, 0)
        circuit.measure_all()

        result = backend.run(circuit, shots=1000)
        counts = result.get_counts()
        prob_1 = counts.get('1', 0) / 1000
        probabilities.append(prob_1)

        print(f"RY({angle:.2f}) → P(|1⟩) = {prob_1:.3f}")

    # Plot the results
    plt.figure(figsize=(10, 6))

Two-Qubit Gates

CNOT Gate (Controlled-X)

The CNOT gate creates entanglement between qubits:

def demonstrate_cnot_gate():
    """Show how CNOT gate creates entanglement."""

    print("CNOT Gate Truth Table:")
    print("Control | Target | → | Control | Target")
    print("   0    |    0   | → |    0    |    0   ")

    print("   1    |    0   | → |    1    |    1   ")  # Target flips
    print("   1    |    1   | → |    1    |    0   ")  # Target flips

    # Test all input combinations
    inputs = [('00', []), ('01', [1]), ('10', [0]), ('11', [0, 1])]

    for state_name, prep_gates in inputs:
        circuit = backend.create_circuit(2)

        # Prepare input state
        for qubit in prep_gates:
            circuit.x(qubit)

        # Apply CNOT (control=0, target=1)
        circuit.cx(0, 1)

        # Measure
        circuit.measure_all()
        result = backend.run(circuit, shots=1000)

        print(f"Input |{state_name}⟩ → {result.get_counts()}")

Creating Bell States

Bell states are maximally entangled two-qubit states:

def create_bell_states():
    """Create and measure all four Bell states."""

    bell_states = {
        '|Φ+⟩': lambda c: [c.h(0), c.cx(0, 1)],
        '|Φ-⟩': lambda c: [c.h(0), c.z(0), c.cx(0, 1)],
        '|Ψ+⟩': lambda c: [c.h(0), c.cx(0, 1), c.x(1)],
        '|Ψ-⟩': lambda c: [c.h(0), c.z(0), c.cx(0, 1), c.x(1)],
    }

    for name, preparation in bell_states.items():
        circuit = backend.create_circuit(2)

        # Prepare Bell state
        for gate_op in preparation(circuit):
            pass  # Gates are applied by the lambda

        circuit.measure_all()
        result = backend.run(circuit, shots=1000)

📚 Chapter 5: Your First Quantum Algorithm

Let's implement the Deutsch-Jozsa algorithm - it's simple but shows quantum advantage!

The Problem

Given a function f that takes n bits and outputs 1 bit, determine if f is: - Constant: f(x) = 0 for all x, OR f(x) = 1 for all x - Balanced: f(x) = 0 for exactly half the inputs, f(x) = 1 for the other half

Classical solution: Need to check up to 2^(n-1) + 1 inputs. Quantum solution: Need only 1 quantum query!
