easter egg
you seem to be interested in what the title's doing...
What this is
The homepage title is effectively a "real-time" visualisation of Grover's algorithm, a famous Quantum search algorithm. The title "glitches" through random ASCII characters, then converges to the correct text, which is a representation of the probability distribution at each timestep.
The browser doesn't run quantum code - it just reuses the probability schedule exported by the simulation, which can be found in a python script if you look in the github repository for this website.
Try it
Type any short phrase and click Flicker. This uses the same ../assets/probs.json
confidence
curve as the homepage.
Note: the probability curve is generated for a single 8-qubit Grover setup, used for one ASCII character, so this is not a true quantum search for your typed string.
Quantum circuit
This is a diagram exported from the Qiskit circuit used to generate the probability schedule.
