The Coin-Flipping Game Paradox: A Pedagogical Introduction to Quantum Computing and Superposition

This paper introduces fundamental concepts of quantum mechanics and quantum computing through the quantum coin-flipping paradox. By connecting historical developments such as Planck’s quantum hypothesis, wave-particle duality, and the double-slit experiment with modern quantum circuits implemented in Qiskit, the work provides a pedagogical and self-contained introduction to superposition and quantum advantage. The article combines theoretical explanation, experimental demonstrations, and computational implementations to make quantum computing accessible to a broad audience.
