Latitude refers to the angular distance of a point from the equator, measured in degrees. In the context of quantum computing and specifically the Bloch sphere representation, latitude is used to describe the position of a quantum state on the sphere, determining the relative amplitude of the state’s coefficients in its basis representation. It works together with longitude to represent quantum states in a three-dimensional space, helping visualize how quantum bits can exist in superposition.
congrats on reading the definition of Latitude. now let's actually learn it.
