There's no installing or configuring or scripting: just go to **[algorithmicassertions.com/quirk](http://algorithmicassertions.com/quirk)**, drag gates onto the circuit, and the output displays will update in real time.

- Can't recohere measured qubits (because measurement is implemented as a hack based on the [deferred measurement principle](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deferred_Measurement_Principle)).

- Dragging works poorly in Firefox on Android (because Firefox doesn't support [`touch-action: none`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/touch-action) yet).
