Quil is being developed for the superconducting quantum processors developed by Rigetti Computing through the Forest quantum programming API. [5] [6] A Python library called pyQuil was introduced to develop Quil programs with higher level constructs. A Quil backend is also supported by other quantum programming environments. [7] [8]
In quantum computing, a quantum algorithm is an algorithm that runs on a realistic model of quantum computation, the most commonly used model being the quantum circuit model of computation. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] A classical (or non-quantum) algorithm is a finite sequence of instructions, or a step-by-step procedure for solving a problem, where each step ...
For combinatorial optimization, the quantum approximate optimization algorithm (QAOA) [6] briefly had a better approximation ratio than any known polynomial time classical algorithm (for a certain problem), [7] until a more effective classical algorithm was proposed. [8] The relative speed-up of the quantum algorithm is an open research question.
Quantum circuit algorithms can be implemented on integrated circuits, conducted with instrumentation, or written in a programming language for use with a quantum computer or a quantum processor. With quantum processor based systems, quantum programming languages help express quantum algorithms using high-level constructs. [1]
Qiskit (Quantum Information Software Kit) is an open-source software development kit (SDK) for working with quantum Computers at the level of circuits, pulses, and algorithms. It provides tools for creating and manipulating quantum programs and running them on prototype quantum devices on IBM Quantum Platform or on simulators on a local computer.
Below is a simple example of how the Deutsch–Jozsa algorithm can be implemented in Python using Qiskit, an open-source quantum computing software development framework by IBM. We will walk through each part of the code step by step to show how it translates the theory into a working quantum circuit.
Adiabatic quantum computing has been shown to be polynomially equivalent to conventional quantum computing in the circuit model. [6] The time complexity for an adiabatic algorithm is the time taken to complete the adiabatic evolution which is dependent on the gap in the energy eigenvalues (spectral gap) of the Hamiltonian.
The book is suitable as an introduction to quantum computing for computer scientists, mathematicians, and physicists, requiring of them only a background in linear algebra and the theory of complex numbers, [2] [3] although reviewer Donald L. Vestal suggests that additional background in the theory of computation, abstract algebra, and information theory would also be helpful. [4]
