Weak Measurement of a Qubit Superposition (2D)

A 2D projected Bloch-sphere view of continuous weak quantum measurement: tune the measurement strength against a Rabi drive and watch the qubit's stochastic trajectory survive or collapse. Drag to orbit, scroll to zoom.

A qubit prepared in equal superposition starts on the Bloch sphere's equator, halfway between |0⟩ and |1⟩. This simulator continuously and weakly measures that qubit — instead of an instantaneous projective collapse, each instant extracts a small amount of information and applies a small random disturbance, following the stochastic master equation for homodyne monitoring of σz. A Rabi drive can be dialled in to fight the measurement's pull toward the poles, so the Bloch vector traces a genuine quantum trajectory: a smooth precession when measurement is off, a jagged random walk to a pole when measurement dominates, or an irregular tug-of-war in between. Live readouts track the coherence, the Born-rule populations, the Bloch vector's shrinking length, and elapsed time. This canvas edition renders the same Bloch sphere as an orbitable 2D projection — drag to rotate the view, scroll or pinch to zoom.

⚙ Under the hood

A 2D orbitable projection of the Bloch sphere showing continuous weak quantum measurement: tune the measurement strength against a Rabi drive and watch the qubit's stochastic trajectory survive as a superposition or collapse to a classical pole. Drag to orbit the view, scroll or pinch to zoom.
