Bloch Sphere

Beginner Quantum Mechanics ⭐ Featured
A geometric representation of a single qubit state as a point on or inside a unit sphere.

📖 In-Depth Explanation

The Bloch sphere provides an intuitive visualisation of qubit states. The north pole represents |0⟩, the south pole |1⟩, and points on the equator represent equal superpositions with different phases. Pure states are on the surface; mixed states are inside.
