What are quantum states, and how does quantum measurement work? You can explore these ideas using this simulator. Quantum states can be recorded into atoms. Choose a type of quantum state (up, down, left, right) and click "send qubit" to send an atom into your magnets. Click the grey button to rotate the magnet. How often does the atom go up or go down?
Click on the magnets to see the % of spins going up or to the right.

This sim was made originally for the Quantum BC program, through Geering Up http://quantum-bc.ca/.
