This question is on quantum computing where I have to: Write a function createQubit. It takes two inputs: alpha and beta. These are floating point values. It should return a list [x,y] where: x = alpha / N y = beta / N and: N = sqrt(alpha2 + beta2 ) This makes sure that the list [x,y] is a proper qubit (in that it is normalized: x2 + y2 = 1). (Check this yourself on paper and make sure x2...
