Visualizations have played a crucial role in helping quantum computing users explore quantum states in various quantum computing applications. Among them, Bloch Sphere is the widely-used visualization for showing quantum states, which leverages angles to represent quantum amplitudes. However, it cannot support the visualization of quantum entanglement and superposition, the two essential properties of quantum computing. To address this issue, we propose VENUS, a novel visualization for quantum state representation. By explicitly correlating 2D geometric shapes based on the math foundation of quantum computing characteristics, VENUS effectively represents quantum amplitudes of both the single qubit and two qubits for quantum entanglement. Also, we use multiple coordinated semicircles to naturally encode probability distribution, making the quantum superposition intuitive to analyze. We conducted two well-designed case studies and an in-depth expert interview to evaluate the usefulness and effectiveness of VENUS. The result shows that VENUS can effectively facilitate the exploration of quantum states for the single qubit and two qubits.

A1 C1 Fig. 1: The interface of VACSEN makes users aware of the quantum noise via three linked views (A-C). Computer Evolution View (A) allows the assessment for all quantum computers based on a temporal analysis for multiple performance metrics. Circuit Filtering View (B) supports the filtering for the potential optimal compiled circuits. Circuit Comparison View (C) supports the in-depth comparison regarding the performance of qubits or quantum gates and corresponding usages. The control panel (D) allows users to interactively configure the settings of VACSEN. Fidelity Comparison View (E) shows the fidelity distribution of each compiled circuit. Probability Distribution View (F) visualizes the results of state distribution of a quantum circuit execution.
