When you are trying to visualize the quantum state for a qubit, you should have a basic understanding of trigonometry. Trigonometry is a branch of mathematics that explores the relationship between angles and lengths of sides of triangles. The word trigonometry comes from the Greek “trigonon,” which translates to “triangle,” and “metron,” which translates to “measure.” Trigonometry has many real-world applications like triangulation in astronomy and Global Positioning System (GPS), optics and acoustics that describe sound and light waves, computer game development, ...
