Quiz: Qubits and Quantum States

Test your knowledge of qubits and quantum states.

Referring to the equation $|S⟩ = a_\text{h}~|\text{hlp}⟩ + a_\text{v} ~|\text{vlp}⟩$ , what is the value of $a_\text{h}$ and $a_\text{v}$ for a horizontally polarized light beam?

$a_\text{h} = 1$

$a_\text{v} = 0$

$a_\text{h} = 0.5$

$a_\text{v} = 0.5$

$a_\text{h} = 0.707$

$a_\text{v} = 0.707$

$a_\text{h} = 0$

$a_\text{v} = 1$
