2-qubit states, visualized 8 ways
One entangled state, eight ways to see it. Onri Jay Benally's runnable notebook renders a 2-qubit state as Bloch spheres, Q-spheres, steering ellipsoids, Wigner functions, and more.

Project Showcase: Entangled Body
Chanhyuk Park and Luke Shim built a point-cloud human figure whose parts respond across distance: entanglement you can see. A Qollab Creative Challenge project.
Project Showcase: Superposition Sequencer
Francisco Estivallet built a quantum music sequencer where every note comes from a circuit you design. A Qollab Creative Challenge project.

Can a Quantum Computer Make Art?
Three teams from Qollab made art on real IonQ quantum hardware: healing butterflies, a garden grown from measurement, a body you can touch. Open and forkable.
See a Quantum Computer Actually Work
Six interactive quantum computing tools from Qollab's challenge, for newcomers: visualizers, a browser game, a circuit sandbox. Most run on real IonQ hardware.
What Can Quantum Computing Do in Finance?
Quantum computing in finance, explained honestly: the history, the algorithms, what JPMorgan and HSBC have shown, and three open projects you can run yourself.
What Does a Quantum Computer Sound Like?
Three Spring 2026 teams turned real IonQ quantum hardware into music: a translator, a live-coding tool, and a playable sequencer. All open source.
Project Showcase: QCFlows
QCFlows renders a quantum circuit as a live graph of correlations, so you can watch entanglement form and move layer by layer. A Qollab Spring 2026 project.
Project Showcase: Quantum Regime Radar
Alireza Khodaei built Quantum Regime Radar: it scores live market returns against five volatility regimes from real history with quantum kernels on IonQ.
Project Showcase: Quantum Advantage Lab
Quantum Advantage Lab runs four quantum algorithms beside their classical counterparts, streaming each step so the mechanism behind a speedup is something you watch. A Qollab Spring 2026 project.
Project Showcase: Quantum Patterns
Peter Thomas and Paulo Itaboraí built Quantum Patterns: partitioned quantum cellular automata as live-coded music in a browser fork of Satori. A Qollab project.
Project Showcase: qOrbital
qOrbital runs VQE on IonQ and renders a molecule's orbital as both a probability cloud and Bohmian trajectories, with hardware noise made visible. A Qollab Spring 2026 project.
Meet the Spring 2026 cohort
Quantum projects running on real IonQ hardware this spring: tools, music, visualizations, and games. Meet the 13 teams in the Qollab Spring 2026 cohort.
Project Showcase: Quantum Market Game
Aadarsh Venkat Ramanan built a quantum prisoner's dilemma: two traders as two qubits, in superposition of buy and sell, entangled beyond classical game theory.
Project Showcase: Quantum Courier
Dr Siti Fariya built Quantum Courier, a browser game racing classical vs quantum solvers across five logistics problems, with a 46.2% MaxCut win on IonQ Forte.
Project Showcase: Musiq
Tomoya Hatanaka and Emmanuella Adams built Musiq, a browser studio that turns quantum circuits into sound on real IonQ hardware. A Qollab Spring 2026 project.
Project Showcase: Quantum Butterfly Field
An interactive artwork where five butterflies are five qubits: scrambled into one entangled field, one is damaged, and the quantum anti-butterfly effect heals it. A Qollab Spring 2026 project.
Project Showcase: Quantum Systemic Oracle
Jamie Dominguez built a daily oracle: a portfolio-optimization circuit on IonQ distilled into one systemic risk score, published on-chain. A Qollab project.
Project Showcase: QuantumCanvas
Shivani Mayekar built a visual sandbox to drag and drop quantum operations into algorithms and run them on real hardware. A Qollab Creative Challenge project.
Quantum Creative Challenge
The Qollab Creative Challenge funded developers to build on real IonQ hardware with Qiskit. The call is closed and no longer accepting proposals.
Project Showcase: QAVE
What does a quantum algorithm look like while it runs? QAVE makes the state evolve gate by gate. A featured project from Qollab's Creative Challenge.
Project Showcase: Quantum Garden
Qollab's Quantum Creative Challenge asked curious people to build something new with quantum computing. Amber Wang and Justin Pincar built a living digital garden powered by real quantum hardware.
