How to Run the Tutorial Code

Clone the Sansqrit repository, install/build the runtime, open this Firebase site locally, then run the example .sq files. The examples follow the DSL patterns found in the uploaded codebase samples: simulate, quantum_register, gates such as H, CNOT, Ry, and measurement with measure_all.

git clone https://github.com/sansqrit/sansqritR.git
cd sansqritR
cargo build --release
# In the Firebase website folder:
firebase emulators:start --only hosting
# Then open /pages/quantum-tutorials.html
Tip
Start with the Part 1 and Part A labs, then move to Grover, VQE, and 100-qubit chunked GHZ after you understand measurements and entanglement.

Reality check
  • Ask what can be predicted exactly and what is only probabilistic.
  • Identify whether the effect matters for atoms, molecules, devices, biology, or cosmology.
  • Use the simulation result as a histogram, not as a direct picture of the state.
Try: Change one parameter, basis, angle, shot count, or qubit count. Predict the histogram before running the program. Discuss: What would a classical model have expected?
