Vectors in Quantum Computing
Quantum states are represented by vectors.
State Vectors
A qubit state $| ψ ̉$ (pronounced 'psi') is a vector in a 2D complex vector space.
- State $| 0 ̉$:
[1, 0] - State $| 1 ̉$:
[0, 1]
If a qubit is in superposition, it is represented as: $| ψ ̉ = α | 0 ̉ + β | 1 ̉$
Where $α$ and $β$ are complex numbers representing probability amplitudes.
