Inspired by the growing interest in quantum computing, QuantX aims to provide an accessible, interactive platform for learning quantum gate operations and simulating qubit behavior, without needing actual quantum hardware.
QuantX allows users to select quantum gates (Hadamard, Pauli-X, Y, Z) for two qubits, simulate the resulting quantum state, and view the measurement probabilities of the four possible outcomes (00, 01, 10, 11).
Built with React for the frontend, Next.js for the backend, and TailwindCSS for styling, the quantum logic was simplified into a classical simulation of quantum gates using predefined effect values. A Next.js API handles the circuit simulation.
Simulating true quantum behavior on a classical computer proved challenging. We had to simplify the model and rely on probabilistic approximations, leading to a less accurate, though still educational, simulation.
Successfully building an interactive, user-friendly frontend that allows real-time circuit simulation. Integrating the simulation logic with a seamless API and enabling users to explore quantum mechanics at their own pace.
We gained hands-on experience in quantum gate theory, simplified quantum circuit simulation, and developed a deeper understanding of the challenges of simulating quantum systems on classical hardware.
We plan to expand the project by adding more gates (like controlled operations), improving simulation accuracy, and potentially integrating with real quantum computers via IBMQ or similar platforms for a more realistic experience.
