| contents | We present a physically appealing and elegant picture for quantum computing using rules constructed for a game of darts. A dartboard is used to represent the state space in quantum mechanics and the act of throwing the dart is shown to have close similarities to the concept of measurement, or collapse of the wavefunction in quantum mechanics. The analogy is constructed in arbitrary dimensional spaces, that is using arbitrary dimensional dartboards, and for for such arbitrary spaces this also provides us a ``visual'' description of uncertainty. Finally, connections of qubits and quantum computing algorithms is also made opening the possibility to construct analogies between quantum algorithms and coupled dart-throw competitions. |
