A sensor for detecting a position of a mechanical component within a polar spherical coordinate reference system, comprising, accommodated inside a sensor body of the sensor: a linear position sensor configured to detect a first linear coordinate of a position of a free end of a slider in the polar spherical coordinate reference system; an acceleration sensor; an angular speed sensor; a data processing unit configured to: determine a second colatitude coordinate and a third longitude coordinate of said position based on acceleration values and angular speed values detectable by said sensors; store in a memory unit a plurality of sets of three detected polar spherical coordinates representative of a path travelled by the free end of the slider in said reference system.

According to one embodiment of the present invention, a computer-implemented method of generating a sensory representation of a qubit is disclosed. The computer-implemented method includes determining a point in a Bloch sphere based on the qubit, in which the point is defined by a value of colatitude (theta) with respect to the z-axis of the Bloch sphere, and a value of longitude (phi) with respect to the x-axis of the Bloch sphere. The computer-implemented method further includes converting the value of colatitude (theta) to a value of a first variable of a sensory output space. The computer-implemented method further includes converting the value of longitude (phi) to a value of a second variable of the sensory output space.
