Okay, okay, okay… quantum computing isn’t easy. However, I started learning BASIC and Logo at a relatively young age (I might be dating myself here), and I was wondering if my future 6th grader could build, run, and understand at least the “hello, quantum world” experiment.

I had already given my student a high-level understanding of superposition and quantum entanglement, so I started with a review of both concepts. To ensure understanding, I then had my student explain both concepts back to me. We then sketched our circuit out on paper, along…
