Hi, I’m Beth.
I make things on the internet — like this website!
See my other projects below, or play with the animation in the background! (There are some more controls at the bottom of this page!)
The background animation shows a ball-and-stick model of the face-centred cubic crystal system. That’s the crystal structure of Diamond! Each of the spheres represents a carbon atom. You can use your mouse (or your finger!) to move it around!

So what is a Qubit, anyway?
A bit is the smallest unit of information that there is. On or off. A 0 or a 1. Classical computers, like the kind you and I have, can be thought of as machines that manipulate lots of these bits in order to do useful stuff (or, at least stuff that you want it to do - you can be the judge of whether that’s useful or not).
But quantum computers? Well, they’re just cooler, right? I mean, look, it’s got quantum right there in the name. Even their bits are cool. Because quantum bits- wait, no… ~qubits~ (yeah, that sounds cool) can even be 0s and 1s at the same time!…I mean, kinda. Sorta. How?
