Find Your Role
Try one of three short team challenges.
For Educators
5-minute classroom warm-up
Ask students to predict the outcome of measuring a qubit prepared using H. Then repeat the experiment and compare results.
Discussion prompt
Why does repeating a measurement after preparing a fresh qubit matter? How does an ideal simulator differ from physical hardware?
