This lecture explains a domain specific language for describing and simulating quantum algorithms. It makes quantum algorithms at least accessible to programmers (non-physicists).

Here's a link to a Squankum, a Java applet I wrote that simulates single-qubit visualization and operations.

It's 10 yrs old though. Any suggestions for the best way to modernize it? Eg, in JS or HTML5? I know little about current web front-end tech.

There is this http://www.quantumplayground.net/#/home and it is done in webGL. Although it doesn't use the Bloch sphere.
