Dirac notation for classic bits?
QWorld have come up with a really neat convention that I like in their QBronze lectures e.g. for the set of classical bits $1011$, they use the notation $\lceil1011\rfloor$. That way you can write out ...

Dirac notation for classic bits?
Sometimes in quantum communication or quantum information there is no notational distinction made between classical and quantum bits, with $|x\rangle$ (for $x \in \{0,1\}$) describing either a ...

Dirac notation for classic bits?
You could stick to the variable names $b$ for bit and $|q\rangle$ for qubit, and then if you have to refer to their values, you can specify $b=0$ or $b=1$, and for qubits $|q\rangle = \alpha|0\rangle +...

In what contexts are different notations used for indicating measurement outcomes?
It's an interesting question as to how to the bijection between the measurement eigenvalues $\{+1,-1\}$ and the bits $\{0,1\}$ or the qubits $\{|0\rangle,|1\rangle\}$ are reflected or intuited in the ...
