PyTKET Bricks

The PyTKET bricks were designed as an educational resource to provide a hands-on and fun way to assemble well-known quantum circuits. For example, the bricks can be assembled to represent a Bell State or Grover's algorithm example.

The brick design is based on the PyTKET circuit rendering tool, which offers both traditional quantum circuit design and ZX calculus design. The bricks can be designed after the traditional H-gates, Z-gates, CX-gates, and CZ-gates, or the ZX calculus version with unitary maps and spiders together with qubit zero (q[0]) and qubit one (q[1]) and wire pieces represented as straight lines.

PyTKET bricks can be enjoyed alone, with friends, or with family.
