CLASSICAL BROWSER SIMULATIONPrepare a state. Apply a gate. Read one bit.
Explore how phase becomes probability through interference.

Counts include every preparation this session. Reset clears them.
Ready in |0⟩. Apply H for a 50 / 50 state, then measure.
experiment.notes / try H → Z → H
Reset, then apply H: zero and one become equally likely. Apply H again: the state returns to |0⟩. For an interference test, reset and run H → Z → H: the phase flip changes the final state to |1⟩.
H combines amplitudes; X swaps them; Z flips the sign of the one amplitude. Moving φ alone keeps the Z-basis probabilities the same. Apply H after changing phase to see interference.
A single measurement collapses the state. “Sample 64 copies” models 64 independent preparations of the current state and preserves it. Random counts need not match the predicted proportions exactly.
