1.

What does the concept of superposition in quantum mechanics describe?

The limitation of a quantum system to exist only in one predefined, observable state.

The phenomenon of a quantum system to be in a combination of multiple states at the same time.

The observation of a quantum particle in one definite position at a time.

2.

If a qubit is in the state $|q\rangle = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} |0\rangle + \sqrt{\frac{2}{3}} |1\rangle$, what is the probability of measuring the qubit in the state $|0\rangle$?

The probability of measuring the qubit in the state $|0\rangle$ is $\frac{1}{3}$.

The probability of measuring the qubit in the state $|0\rangle$ is $\frac{2}{3}$.

The probability of measuring the qubit in the state $|0\rangle$ is $\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$.

3.

You print the qubit's state directly to the console.

You use the DumpMachine function after each operation.

You use the Measure function after each operation.

You must answer all questions before checking your work.
