This is a lecture in a course on "Quantum Computing".
A state of a quantum system is a vector in a complex hermitian space. In this lecture we explain how we can use polarization states of photons or spin states of an electron to implement a qubit.
My book "Quantum Computing for High School Students" is available here: https://qubitpublishing.com/ or from Amazon.
