This is not a very good explanation, nor is it useful for anything.

A single qubit is not useful for computation and the way it is written doesn't generalize to more than a single qubit. The code doesn't even really simulate a single qubit properly, since it doesn't use complex numbers.

What they call a "Rydberg gate" is not a gate at all.

Most of the text feels like it's written by an AI.

Yeah this is closer to simulating a classical coin (albeit one with three sides) than a qubit.
