Here's how they work, with a live simulation you can verify yourself.Wed, 06 May 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://forge-veil.github.io/blog/hadamard-gate/https://forge-veil.github.io/blog/hadamard-gate/If a qubit state is a point on the Bloch sphere, a quantum gate is a rotation. Unitarity tells us which rotations are allowed. The Hadamard is the most important one.Mon, 27 Apr 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://forge-veil.github.io/blog/benfords-law/https://forge-veil.github.io/blog/benfords-law/Classical probability says every digit should appear equally often. It is spectacularly wrong. The digit 1 leads roughly 30% of all real-world numbers — and the same law that explains why is also what catches financial fraud.Sun, 26 Apr 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://forge-veil.github.io/blog/bits-amplitudes-bloch-sphere/https://forge-veil.github.io/blog/bits-amplitudes-bloch-sphere/A qubit is not 'both 0 and 1 at once.' It is a precise mathematical object, and its geometry fits on the surface of a sphere.Thu, 18 Dec 2025 00:00:00 GMThttps://forge-veil.github.io/blog/golf-ball-flight-laws/https://forge-veil.github.io/blog/golf-ball-flight-laws/How face angle and swing path combine to produce every possible ball flight, and what Tiger's 9 window drill teaches us about controlling them.Tue, 18 Mar 2025 00:00:00 GMT
