US Patent 10963125 Visualization tool for interacting with a quantum computing program

A technique is described herein for assisting a user in exploring the operation of a quantum computer program. It involves first receiving qubit state information from a quantum system emulator which executes a quantum computer program. The qubit state information describes one or more states of one or more respective qubits at a specified analysis point in the quantum computer program. The technique then generates a three-dimensional graphical depiction that provides a visualization of the qubit state information. The three-dimensional graphical depiction includes at least one graphical control element that allows a user to interact with the three-dimensional graphical depiction. The technique then displays the three-dimensional graphical depiction on a display device. In one implementation, the display device is provided by a head mounted display associated with a mixed reality system.
