IBM Wants Everyone to Try a Quantum Computer

Wow, this is awesome! The Block-sphere "spy probe" is an amazing way to show what's going on with each qubit[1]. I wish I had this when I was teaching the intro to QM course!

Suggestion: add some sort of menu for import/export and links to examples. I thought there was a limit to how long a URL hash can be, but it seems even very long ones will work.

[1] Of course, the local description doesn't really work for the Bell state (|00>+|11>): http://bit.ly/1rUFaos but still cool...

Thanks.

The other issue with the links is that the braces keep getting cut off by sites (as happened for your link, need to include that last } for it to work). But having the URL be the save mechanism is just so darn appealing to me.

I generally work around each qubit in an EPR pair appearing to be maximally mixed by conditioning the displays. Add a control to the other wire in the same column as the display, and you'll see the conditional state. Also there's the 2-qubit density matrix display.
