Bloch Sphere

Every state of a single qubit is a point on a sphere. The Bloch sphere turns abstract quantum amplitudes into a picture you can rotate and reason about.

Presets

Every pure state of a single qubit is a point on the Bloch sphere. The north pole is |0⟩, the south |1⟩, and the equator holds equal superpositions differing only in phase φ. Quantum gates rotate this arrow — the geometric picture behind all single-qubit quantum computing.

Governing equation

Reading this result: Polar angle θ sets the measurement odds: P(|0⟩)=cos²(θ/2)=0.75, so tilting toward a pole biases the qubit while φ only twists its phase.

How it works

A qubit state cos(θ/2)|0⟩ + e^{iφ}sin(θ/2)|1⟩ maps onto a unit sphere: the poles are |0⟩ and |1⟩, the equator holds equal superpositions differing only by phase. Measurement probabilities come straight from the polar angle. Quantum gates are rotations of this arrow — the geometric heart of quantum computing.

Frequently asked questions

Is this Bloch sphere qubit tool really free?▾
Yes. Bloch Sphere runs entirely in your browser using your device's own compute, so local use is free forever. You only pay Compute Tokens if you scale a job to the cloud.
Do I need to install anything?▾
No. Everything runs client-side in a modern browser — no downloads, no license, no account required to start.
Can I save or share my simulation?▾
Create a free account to save projects, and use a shareable embed or minted DOI to publish a live, interactive version anywhere.
How accurate are the results?▾
The solver uses established numerical methods, but results are for research and educational purposes and should be validated against experiment or professional review before you rely on them.
